Abstract 1D SiO2/TiO2 photonic crystal based ZnO-Pt DSSC with N719 dye is theoretically designed. The optical properties of theoretically designed DSSC such as transmittivity, Absorptivity and reflectivity are calculated using transfer matrix method in order to calculate numerically the key parameters like open circuit voltage (VOC), Photo current density (Jph) of the DSSC. It is found that the desired integrated system may enable to maximize the absorption in the selective spectrum region (400-900nm) and hence the maximum efficiency achieved is 4.5 % for a 1D SiO2/TiO2 photonic crystal layers with two number of periods.

The dye-sensitized solar cell performances influenced by radiant intensity and illuminated area in concentrating photovoltaic system are investigated experimentally and discussed theoretically. The results show that, under the same irradiated cells area, the short-circuit current is linearly increasing with the radiant intensity and the open-circuit voltage follows a logarithmic function of the radiant intensity. And, it is turned out that the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage are obviously enhanced by increasing the illuminated cells surface area at the same radiant intensity. However, that growth trends will decline with an increase of the illuminated area. The reason is more defects involved in the process of increasing illumination area. All results can be interpreted using an equivalent circuit of a single diode model. A good agreement can be observed from the fitting curves. It is of great significance for current photovoltaic research.
