Enhancing the Photovoltaic Performance of Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Composite Materials and Luminescent Down-Shifting

Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells produce saturation of electrons and holes when exposed to high-intensity UV photons. These photon energies do not match the bandgap of the semiconductor materials, which not only degrades the dye and electrolyte but also disrupts the electron kinetics. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was incorporated into TiO 2 to form a composite photoanode structure. The results indicated that a composite photoanode based on GO/TiO 2 enhanced the power conversion efficiency of a solid-state dye-s… Show more

“…At the same time, it should have good luminescence properties, including a sufficiently large Stokes shift and a high emission quantum efficiency. Suitable candidates include organic dyes, , rare-earth-doped materials, phosphorescent nanomaterials, , and inorganic quantum dots (QDs). Inorganic perovskite (CsPbX 3 ; X = Cl, Br, I) QDs have become popular in research on luminescent nanomaterials because of their ease of preparation, adjustable E g values, and high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs). CsPbX 3 QDs are favorable candidates for LDS materials . However, CsPbX 3 QDs have two obvious shortcomings for use as LDS materials: their narrow-band edge emission leads to high reabsorption losses, and their poor stability is not conducive to long-term storage and use. …”

“…The photon-to-current conversion process in dye-sensitized solar cells may be summed up as photo-generation, charge-carrier transition and collection of charge carriers [4,5]. Although DSSCs have the capability to harvest incoming photons over various wavelengths, they are still facing poorer power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to currently existing solar cells, making them less attractive for the photovoltaic industry [6,7]. Researchers have proposed many techniques to improve their light-harvesting capabilities, including additional sensitizers with appropriate absorption bands [8,9], expanding the surface area of the semiconductor, and employing tandem devices [10].…”

“…The properties of anode materials have a fundamental significance on the performance of the battery. [9][10][11] Ideal anode materials should meet a basic requirement of low work function, thereby to improve the electron collection efficiency and elevate operate voltage. In the early stage of PETE converters, a metal with a thin coating can achieve low work function, regarding as a good alternative of anode materials, for example, diamonds.…”
