This paper discusses the photovoltaic investigation of novel and efficient dye-sensitized solar cells. A less toxic alternative using aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as charge collectors is suggested for toxic indium-based glass substrates. Additionally, a mixture of polymer (polyaniline) and an iodide-triiodide couple is used as the electrolyte to reduce the amount of iodine. The study includes UV-vis spectroscopy for dye absorption, SEM images for morphological study, and measurements of I-V, IPCE, and LHE.
The photovoltaic investigation of novel and efficient dye-sensitized solar cells is discussed in this paper. Ruthenium-based synthetic dye (N3) is used as a sensitizer. A less toxic alternative is suggested for toxic indium-based glass substrates by using aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as charge collectors. Moreover, the electrolyte used is a mixture of polymer (polyaniline) and an iodide-triiodide couple to go for the approach involving a lower amount of iodine. In the paper study, on the extent of light, absorption of dye is done by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The morphological study of sheets is done using scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images to understand the binding of titania on photoanode. Photovoltaic characteristics (I-V) and induced photon to current efficiency (IPCE) measurements, and light harvesting efficiency (LHE) are also investigated. The highest power conversion efficiency of 6.18% is observed in the suggested fabricated green solar cell. Hence, more efficient, indium-free, and novel cell is fabricated by the usage of different charge collector substrates and quasi solid-state electrolytes.
