The performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) is affected by its components such as photoelectrode material, dye-sensitized, electrolyte, substrate and counter electrode materials. In this study, we investigated the effect the addition of larger TiO 2 particle as a scattering layer to the TiO 2 nanoparticle. The paste which containing the mixture of TiO 2 particle was deposited on flexible substrate of ITO-PET and followed by sintering at 120 o C. The surface morphology of photoelectrode TiO 2 films were observed using SEM and the optical properties were investigated by measure percent transmittance and absorbance of dye covered TiO 2 film using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The I-V characteristic of flexible dye-sensitized solar cells were measure using Sun Simulator with light source of Xenon at an intensity of 50 mW/cm 2 . The results showed that the current density and the conversion efficiency of dye solar cell enchance with the addition scattering layer, there are 0.2 mA/cm 2 and 0.135% respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
