Efficiency and stability improvements for room light dye-sensitized solar cells in the presence of electrochemically fabricated composite counter electrodes

Shanmuganathan Venkatesan et al.

Summary: Different methods were used to fabricate PEDOT/Pt and PEDOT-Pt composite films as counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells. It was found that PEDOT/Pt film exhibited the highest efficiency, while the PEDOT-Pt film showed the lowest efficiency. X-ray analysis revealed that Pt in the PEDOT/Pt film maintained a crystalline structure with slight interaction with PEDOT, while Pt in the PEDOT-Pt film was amorphous. The crystalline Pt and its interaction with PEDOT were identified as the key factors contributing to the high efficiencies of the corresponding cells.

Characteristics of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with TiO2 Stripes

Wen-Feng Lai et al.

Summary: In this study, a one-dimensional protrusive TiO2 strip array was fabricated using chemical and physical methods. A porous semiconductor layer was coated on the strip array. The results showed that the DSSC with the TiO2 strip array had a higher energy conversion efficiency, which can be attributed to the large surface area of the protrusive structure and its specific electron transport paths.
