Abstract
Abstract This article describes the advantage of the organic dye sensitized TiO2–Nb2O5 electron collecting bilayer photoanode for efficient power conversion in solar cell devices. The bilayer photoanodes were prepared using Nb2O5 coated TiO2 nanoparticles/nanosticks composite film. The solar cell devices were fabricated using organic dye DIAC sensitized photoanodes with different types of electrolytes and cobalt sulphide counter electrode. The power conversion efficiency of 6.64% was achieved in the solar cell device fabricated with the bilayer photoanode and quasi-solid state electrolyte. This solar cell device exhibited high power conversion efficiency as compared to bare photoanode solar cell devices. The enhanced power conversion efficiency of the cell ascribes the bilayer photoanode improved the electron transport and reduced the recombination of charge carriers at photoanode/dye/electrolyte interface.
