Enhanced Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Utilizing ZnO Thin Film with Different Light-scattering Layers as Photoelectrodes

摘要

@@ Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have found a wide practical application as a cost-effect alternative to p-n junction solar cells. However, the improvement of solar-to-electric energy conversion efficiency is an urging problem for commercial application. An effective strategy to the enhancement of efficiency is to build a light scattering layer with both enhanced photo-capture efficiency and the optical adsorption in photoelectrode films in DSSCs.
