Dye-sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanotube/porous layer mixed morphology
Source abstract
Abstract
Titania porous layer has been fabricated on titania nanotubes for dye sensitized solar cells and the photovoltaic performance of solar cells with mixed morphology has been investigated. The porous layer results in a similar improvement in the short circuit current density to conventional TiCl4 treatment, although the mechanisms responsible for the observed increase in the efficiency are different. This enables further improvements of the photovoltaic performance by combining the TiCl4 treatment and porous layer deposition, so that the efficiency in the case of ∼5 μm long tubes increases on average from ∼1.6 to ∼2.2%.
