NEW CONCEPTS AND MATERIALS FOR WORLD-CLASS DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS

摘要

Several areas are explored for dye-sensitized solar cells (nc-DSC) in the field of new concepts and materials,fabrication protocols for TiO2 and scatterlayers, metal oxide blocking layers and low temperature processes of platinumdeposition. The combined efforts have led to maximum power conversion efficiencies under full sunlight of 11 % for areas <0.2 cm2 and 10.1 % for a cell with an active area of 1.3 cm2 which is the highest efficiency ever measured for a nc-DSC withan active area > 1 cm2.
