In this study, dye-sensitized TiO2 electrodes were immersed into a solution of aluminum isopropoxide and after hydrolysis quasi-solid-state solar cells were fabricated. The interaction between the dye and the resulting Al2O3 overlayer was investigated by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrum, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS). The current density-voltage (I-V) characteristics showed that the overlayer increased the photovoltage and decreased the photocurrent under low intensity irradiation, and increased both the photovoltage and photocurrent under AM 1.5 irradiation. The Al2O3 overlayer at the dye/electrolyte interface resulted in a 28% improvement in overall photo-to-electrical conversion efficiency from 2.60 to 3.32%. Dark current measurements showed that Al2O3 acted as an insulator barrier to retard recombination between the TiO2 and dye/quasi-solid-state electrolyte interface. Without encapsulation, dye-sensitized solar cells with Al2O3 coating after sensitization also exhibited improved stability compared to cells without coating. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
