Effect of tetrabutylammonium iodide content on PVDF-PMMA polymer blend electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells

The influence of tetrabutylammonium iodide on the polyvinylidene fluoride-poly(methyl methacrylate)-ethylene carbonate (PVDF-PMMA-EC)-I₂ polymer blend electrolytes was investigated and optimized for use in a dye-sensitized solar cell. The different weight ratios (50, 60, 70, and 80 %) of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI)-added PVDF-PMMA-EC-I₂ polymer electrolytes were prepared. The prepared solid polymer blend electrolytes were characterized by using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The FT-IR spectra revealed the interaction among all composition of polymer electrolytes. The influence of TBAI salt on the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The polymer electrolyte containing 60 % of TBAI in PVDF-PMMA-EC-I₂ showed the highest room temperature conductivity of 5.10?×?10^?3 S cm^?1. The fabricated DSSC using PVDF-PMMA-EC-I₂ polymer electrolytes with 60 % of TBAI showed the best performance with a short-circuit current density of 8.0 mA cm^?2, open-circuit voltage of 0.66 V, fill factor of 0.65, and the overall power conversion efficiency of 3.45 % under an illumination of 100 mW cm^?2. Hence, the weight content of organic iodide salt in polymer electrolytes influences the overall performance of dye-sensitized solar cells.     

Natural dye-based photoelectrode for improvement of solar cell performance

In the present paper, photovoltaic studies of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on betacyanin/TiO₂ and betacyanin/WO₃–TiO₂ have been done. The cell performances were compared through I–V curves and wavelength dependant photocurrent measurements for the two new types of DSSCs. The TiO₂-coated DSSC showed the photovoltage and photocurrent of 300 mV and 4.96 mA/cm², whereas the cell employing WO₃–TiO₂ photoelectrode showed the values 435 mV and 9.86 mA/cm², respectively. The conversion efficiency of TiO₂ based dye-sensitized solar cell was found to be 0.69 %, while WO₃–TiO₂-based cell exhibited a higher conversion efficiency of 2.2 %. The better performance of the WO₃–TiO₂ dye-sensitized solar cell photoelectrode is thought to be due to an inherent energy barrier at the electrode/electrolyte interface leading to the reduced recombination of photoinduced electrons.     

Layer-by-layer Au nanoparticles as a Schottky barrier in a water-based dye-sensitized solar cell

We fabricated layer-by-layer gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) onto an electrode as a Schottky barrier in a water-based dye-sensitized solar cell. The Maxwell–Garnett equation was used to fit the characteristics of the Au film. The short-circuit current for four layers of Au NPs in a water-based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) ranges from 2.76 mA/cm² to 5.96 mA/cm², which is due to the Schottky barrier reducing the number of electrons going from the semiconductor back to either the dye or the electrolyte. The efficiency of photo-electric conversion for four layers of Au NPs in water-based DSSC can be enhanced from 0.26% up to 0.95%. PACS 85.30.Hi; 82.47.Jk; 73.63.-b; 81.16.-c; 78.67.Bf     

Radiation effects in silicon solar cells

Silicon solar cells have been utilized as the principal source of electrical energy for space satellites during the past decade. Despite the reliability of these photovoltaic devices, degradation of their power output by charged particle radiation in the earth's geomagnetic field has continued to be the primary problem for their use on flights of long-duration. A study of radiation damage induced by 1 MeV electrons in a variety of current silicon solar cell types has been conducted as a function of dopant impurity and resistivity of the base region. A companion study of radiation damage induced by nominal 0.2 MeV protons was performed in solar cells with coverslips having small cell areas exposed alongside the coverslip. The photovoltaic current-voltage characteristics were measured under a solar simulator emitting 140mW/cm² at air mass zero. Irradiations were performed at room temperature to fluences of 1 × 10¹⁵ e/cm² and 1 × 10¹⁵ p/cm². The efficiency of 10 ohm-cm cells after large fluences was superior to cells of 2 ohm-cm base resistivity. No significant differences were observed between boron- and aluminum-doped cells. Solar cell exposure to low energy Protons resulted in an 8 per cent loss in power at a fluence of 1 × 10¹⁴ p/cm² when as little as 2 per cent of the solar cell surface was left unshielded.     

Analysis of current loss from a series-parallel combination of dye-sensitized solar cells using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been proposed as a substitute for silicon crystalline solar cells which have a high manufacturing cost but it is still difficult to fabricate highly efficient DSC module assemblies. Therefore, in this work, an externally connected module assembly was investigated for industrial applications of DSCs. The equivalent circuit of a DSC was determined using typical electrical components and the cause of a current loss in the parallel connection was analyzed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Also, an externally connected module has been constructed using 50 DSCs, where each cell has an active area of 8 cm² (4.62 cm × 1.73 cm) and a conversion efficiency of 4.21% under 1 sun illumination (P_in of 100 mW/cm²). As a result, the externally connected DSC module assembly has an output of 7.4 V and 200 mA, and shows stable performance, with an energy conversion efficiency of 4.44% under 0.45 sun illuminations.     

III-V compounds for solar cell applications

Research activities in the field of III-V solar cells are reviewed. III-V compound semiconductors are used for space solar cells, concentrator solar cells, and in thermophotovoltaic generators. The epitaxial growth of ternary and quaternary material by MOVPE and LPE allows us to realize various band gaps. Multi-junction solar cells with different band gaps are necessary to obtain efficiencies larger than 30%. Recent results of the III-V solar cell research at the Fraunhofer ISE are presented. A mechanically stacked GaAs/GaSb tandem concentrator solar cell achieved an efficiency of 31.1% under 100×AM1.5d. An efficiency of 23% for a two-terminal concentrator module (486 cm²) with Fresnel lenses has been measured under realistic outdoor conditions.

Influence of pyrazole on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cell with polyvinylidene fluoride polymer electrolytes

We investigate the influence of the pyrazole content on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/KI/I₂ electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The solid polymer electrolyte films consisting of different weight percentage ratios (0 20, 30, 40, and 50 %) of pyrazole doped with PVDF/KI/I₂ have been prepared by solution casting technique using N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a solvent. The as-prepared polymer electrolyte films were characterized by various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR spectroscopy), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), alternate current (AC)-impedance analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 40 wt% pyrazole-PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte exhibited the highest ionic conductivity value of 9.52?×?10^?5 Scm^?1 at room temperature. This may be due to the lower crystallinity of PVDF and higher ionic mobility of iodide ions in the electrolyte. The DSSC fabricated using this highest ion conducting electrolyte showed an enhanced power conversion efficiency of 3.30 % under an illumination of 60 mW/cm² than that of pure PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte (1.42 %).     

Organic dopant added polyvinylidene fluoride based solid polymer electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells

The effect of phenothiazine (PTZ) as dopant on PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte was studied for the fabrication of efficient dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The different weight percentage (wt%) ratios (0, 20, 30, 40 and 50%) of PTZ doped PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting method using DMF as a solvent. The following techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and AC-impedance analysis have been employed to characterize the prepared polymer electrolyte films. The FT-IR studies revealed the complex formation between PVDF/KI/I₂ and PTZ. The crystalline and amorphous nature of polymer electrolytes were confirmed by DSC and XRD analysis respectively. The ionic conductivities of polymer electrolyte films were calculated from the AC-impedance analysis. The undoped PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte exhibited the ionic conductivity of 4.68×10⁻⁶ S cm⁻¹ and this value was increased to 7.43×10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹ when PTZ was added to PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte. On comparison with different wt% ratios, the maximum ionic conductivity was observed for 20% PTZ-PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte. A DSSC assembled with the optimized wt % of PTZ doped PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 2.92%, than the undoped PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte (1.41%) at similar conditions. Hence, the 20% PTZ-PVDF/KI/I₂ electrolyte was found to be optimal for DSSC applications.     

Effect of NH4I and I2 concentration on agar gel polymer electrolyte properties for a dye-sensitized solar cell

Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared using agar polymer host, NH₄I, and I₂ salts. The sample of agar paste with 1.0 M of NH₄I and 0.2 μM of I₂ exhibits the highest conductivity and lowest viscosity values at room temperature of (2.64?±?0.19)?×?10^?3?S?cm^?1 and 1.17?±?0.29 Pa?s, respectively. All of the gel polymer electrolytes display Arrhenian behavior, and the optimum agar paste gave the lowest activation energy of 0.25 eV. It also had a good physical appearance compared with the other samples. This gel polymer electrolyte had a good potential and was applicable to a role as electrolyte in ITO-ZnO (N719 dye)/agar paste?+?1.0 M NH₄I?+?0.2 μM I₂/Au-Pd-ITO dye-sensitized solar cell.
