Performance improvement of dye-sensitized solar cell by introducing Sm3+/Y3+ co-doped TiO2 film as an efficient blocking layer

Abstract: Luminescence mediums: samarium ion and yttrium ion, were introduced to expand the photo-response region of TiO 2 by means of the down-conversion effect to convert ultraviolet light into visible light, offering a unique method to enhance the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Their crystal structures, optical properties as well as photovoltaic performance were investigated systematically. The result indicates that the DSSCs doped with a total molar ratio of 4 mol% of Sm 3+ and Y 3+ … Show more

“…The bare TiO 2 sample indicates the formation of anatase phase of TiO 2 with tetragonal structure [33]. The anatase structure is made up of corner (vertice) sharing octahedral units within the tetragonal structure [30]. The TiO 2 occurs in three different crystal modifications namely rutile, anatase and brookite, all of which comprises of two complementary Ti x O y building blocks as networks of edgeand/or corner-linked distorted TiO 6 octahedron building blocks [34].…”

“…doped TiO 2 photoanode reached 16.71 mA/cm 2 , enhancing approximately 25.07% when compared to that of the cell based on pure TiO 2 photoelectrode. The Sm and Y ions are responsible for expanding the photo-response region of TiO 2 via down conversion effect to convert the UV light into visible light, to enhance the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs [30]. The Sm 3?…”

“…Perovskite-type titanates with the general formula MTiO 3 (M is a alkali earth or transition metals) have attracted much attention for the important technological applications in the electronics industry, due to their excellent inherent chemical and physical properties such as photoelectricity, photorefractivity, ferroelectricity, as well as high dielectric constant [1][2][3]. Particularly, Zinc titanate ZnTiO 3 nanostructures have been an active area of research because of their remarkable electrical properties leading to the wide practical applications in microwave resonator, gas sensors, microelectronics and photocatalytic [4][5][6].…”
