- Abstract
- Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) is thought to be a candidate to realize the large-scale use of solar energy for it has many advantages such as non-toxic, high efficiency of conversion, low cost, etc. The photoanode as a media of dye adsorption, electron transport, and electrolyte diffusion is the most important part of DSSCs. The composition of the photoanode of DSSCs directly influences the conversion efficiency and long-term stability. This paper studies the doped titania nanocrystalline photoanodes for efficiency improvement of DSSCs. Through the photoelectric property test of DSSCs, it is learned that Zn2+ doped TiO2 photoanode with mole fraction of 0.05% has the best performance. Lastly, an outlook on the future challenge and prospects of doped nanocrystalline TiO2 photoanode materials are also briefly brought up.
