Glycol Solution

This works focus on an enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cell performance by improving photoanode which directly relates to shunt resistance and series resistance of the cell. Polyethylene glycol solution was prepared by dissolved polyethylene glycol in weight ratio of 10 and 30% in distilled water. ZnO past was prepared by mixing ZnO into polyethylene glycol solution, screened by doctor blade technique on fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrate and annealed at 450 °C for 1 h. The power conversion efficiency and fill factor were achieved as 0.81% and 0.44, respectively, because internal resistances were improved. The internal resistances were found that shunt resistance increased up to 4.35% and series resistance decreased down to 8.00% for 30% weight ratio of polyethylene glycol. These indicated that electron transfer in the cell was achieved in pathway direction.

Viable Method

Dye adsorption on Ti02and electron transport in Ti02film are the two critical factors in determining efficiency of the the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Increasing dye adsorption which increases the light harvesting is usually achieved by using nanoporous or nanoparticle Ti02films. Electron transport is determined by the inter-particle resistance of Ti02film. Electrospinning is a viable method for forming porous structure materials with high surface area. In this study, it was found that electrospinning is able to achieve good solar cell performance due to the high electron transport caused by the pores in the Ti02film.
