Y0.78Yb0.20Er0.02F3 is introduced into the TiO2 photoanode in a dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Y0.78Yb0.20Er0.02F3 improves infrared light harvesting via up‐conversion luminescence and thus increases the photocurrent. Yb3+/Er3+ elevates the energy level of the TiO2 electrode and thus increases the photovoltage.
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.
