Materials for Enhanced Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Performance: Electrochemical Application

摘要

This paper reports on an aper莽u of materials that enhance the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs). The review indicates progress in DSSCs and a large improvement in the materials used inDSSCs in particular. DSSCs were assembled using different materials for the semiconductor oxide,dye sensitizer and counter electrode. The performance of each material was evaluated based onphotoelectrochemical parameters, including the open circuit voltage (Vcc), short circuit current (Isc), fillfactor (FF) and overall conversion efficiency () from the current-voltage curve. This review coversseveral types of materials that have paved the way for better-performing solar cells and directlyinfluenced the stability and reliability of DSSCs. The new research trend as well as the previousresearch has been highlighted to examine the key challenges faced in developing the ultimate DSSCs.
