Recent Advances of Cobalt(II/III) Redox Couples for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Applications

In recent years dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as one of the alternatives for the global energy crisis. DSSCs have achieved a certified efficiency of >11% by using the I^?/I₃^? redox couple. In order to commercialize the technology almost all components of the device have to be improved. Among the various components of DSSCs, the redox couple that regenerates the oxidized sensitizer plays a crucial role in achieving high efficiency and durability of the cell. However, the I^?/I₃^? redox couple has certain limitations such as the absorption of triiodide up to 430 nm and the volatile nature of iodine, which also corrodes the silver‐based current collectors. These limitations are obstructing the commercialization of this technology. For this reason, one has to identify alternative redox couples. In this regard, the Co(II/III) redox couple is found to be the best alternative to the existing I^?/I₃^? redox couple. Recently, DSSC test cell efficiency has risen up to 13% by using the cobalt redox couple. This review emphasizes the recent development of Co(II/III) redox couples for DSSC applications.     

Efficient Counter Electrode Manufactured from Ag2S Nanocrystal Ink for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

It is generally believed that silver or silver‐based compounds are not suitable counter electrode (CE) materials for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to the corrosion of the I^?/I₃^? redox couple in electrolytes. However, Ag₂S has potential applications in DSSCs for catalyzing I₃^? reduction reactions because of its high carrier concentration and tiny solubility product constant. In the present work, CE manufactured from Ag₂S nanocrystals ink exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of I₃^? to I^? in DSSCs. The DSSC consisting of Ag₂S CE displayed a higher power conversion efficiency of 8.40 % than that of Pt CE (8.11 %). Moreover, the devices also showed the characteristics of fast activity onset, high multiple start/stop capability and good irradiated stability. The simple composition, easy preparation, stable chemical property, and good catalytic performance make the developed Ag₂S CE as a promising alternative to Pt CE in DSSCs.     

Effect of organic dye on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell utilizing TiO2 nanostructure films synthesized via CTAB-assisted liquid phase deposition technique

This work is concerned with the growth of TiO₂ nanostructures as photovoltaic materials of dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) via phase liquid deposition technique treated with CTAB surfactant. This work investigates the influence of organic dyes, N719, N3 and Z907 as photosensitizer on the photovoltaic parameters of TiO₂ nanostructures dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It also highlights the effect of the concentration of the best dye, N719 on the performance of the cell. The platinum films as counter electrode of the DSSC were prepared by sputtering platinum pellet on ITO substrate. The redox couple of the electrolyte utilized in the DSSC was iodide/triiodide. The cell sensitized with N719 dye demonstrated the best performance compared with the cell sensitized with another two dyes, N3 and Z907. This is due to N719 dye possess the highest optical absorption in visible region. The cell sensitized with 0.8 mM N719 dye performs the highest short-circuit current density, J _sc and power conversion efficiency, η since it posses the highest absorption in visible region. The DSSC utilizing 0.8 mM N719 dye demonstrated the highest J _sc and η of 6.48 mA cm^?2 and 1.69%, respectively.     

Growth of aligned polypyrrole acicular nanorods and their application as Pt‐free semitransparent counter electrode in dye‐sensitized solar cell

These films exhibited catalytic activity towards I₃⁻/I⁻ redox couple and have been investigated for counter electrode application in dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The fabricated DSSC with N719 dye/TiO₂ as photoanode, and PPy/FTO as counter electrode shows ~1.7% efficiency.     

Non‐classical Design of High‐Efficiency Sensitizers for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

The dye regeneration step in a dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC) affects significantly the device efficiency. To be able to predict the dye regeneration efficiency by the electrolyte this paper provides a facile way to design high‐efficiency sensitizers for DSSC. This paper proposes, for the first time, a simple and ingenious way to identify the dye regeneration sites and their relative efficiencies when a specific electrolyte is used. Two steps are proposed to identify the dye regeneration sites and their relative regeneration efficiencies: (1) drawing all the resonance structures of the oxidized dye to determine the regeneration sites, and (2) choosing the most favored site for dye regeneration as the chemically softest (when the redox couple used is soft I⁻/I₃⁻ pair) and the least spatially hindered site. The regeneration sites identified by the resonance structures are consistent with the β‐LUSO (β lowest unoccupied spin orbital) distribution, which is generally used for identifying the dye regeneration sites, calculated with DT‐DFT theory. The relative dye regeneration efficiency and photovoltaic performance of both ruthenium and metal‐free organic dyes predicted by the method reported here are supported by experimental data and the proposed dye regeneration mechanism. Several types of dye molecules are used to demonstrate the correctness of this new tool. This non‐classical tool, which uses the well‐known chemical knowledge of the resonance structure and hard–soft acid–base principle, without any computer calculation or physicochemical measurement, provides a very simple and powerful tool to quickly conceive high‐efficiency sensitizers for DSSCs.     

A highly efficient electric additive for enhancing photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells

N-cetylpyridinium iodide (N-CPI) as a new electric additive for enhancing photovoltaic performance of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was studied. It showed high efficiency for enhancing both the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current density of DSSC when the suitable amount of N-CPI as 0.02 M was added in liquid electrolyte. The energy conversion efficiency of DSSC increased from 4.429% to 6.535%, with 47.55% enhancement. Therefore, it is a highly efficient electric additive for DSSC. The intrinsic reason is owing to the special molecular structure of N-CPI, which contains two different polarity groups. As a surfactant, N-CPI could form ordered arrangement in liquid electrolyte, which affects the diffusing ability and the redox reaction of I^?/I ₃ ^? , and further affects the photovoltaic performance of DSSC.     

Hydrothermal Realization of a Hierarchical,Flowerlike MnWO4@MWCNTs Nanocomposite with Enhanced Reversible Li Storage as a New Anode Material

A phase‐pure MnWO₄‐based nanocomposite, MnWO₄@MWCNTs (MWCNTs=multiwalled carbon nanotubes), was successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reaction at 180 °C by adjusting the pH of the precursor medium. The resulting nanocomposite maintains the original flowerlike morphology of MnWO₄ with hierarchical structures composed of numerous single‐crystalline nanorods that drive growth preferentially along the [001] direction. The growth mechanism for the flowerlike formations is also discussed. In addition, the Li electroactivity of pure MnWO₄ and MnWO₄@MWCNTs electrodes was investigated. As an anode for Li‐ion batteries, the MnWO₄@MWCNTs nanocomposite showed enhanced electrochemical performance in reversible Li storage relative to that shown by bare MnWO₄ electrodes, including a high capacity of 425 mAh g^?1 and superior rate performance. This performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the nanocomposite combined with the MWCNTs, which provide efficient electron transport in their role as a conductor.     

Hybrid Silver Nanowire/Titanium Oxides Nanocomposites as Anode for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cell Application

In this study, we investigated the effect of adding metallic nanowires in the anode of dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC) to improve the photovoltaic efficiency. Photo‐excited electrons can be efficiently transferred to the electrode through the network of the dispersed metallic nanowires added in the anode. We compared the photovoltaic performance with the anodes of standard P‐25, the silver nanowire/P‐25, and the TiO₂ coated silver nanowire/P‐25 DSSC. The DSSC with TiO₂ coated silver nanowires shows significantly improved (about 1.5 and 2.0 times) photovoltaic efficiency and structural durability compared with that of the standard P‐25 and the silver nanowires without coating DSSC. The TiO₂ coated silver nanowire can resist the redox chemical corrosions by iodide ions since they are protected from contact with electrolytes during the photovoltaic reaction by the coated thin TiO₂ layer. The presence of the metal network (silver nanowires) improves the production and transportation of light generated current so as to the photovoltaic efficiency.     

Molecular Engineering of Simple Phenothiazine‐Based Dyes To Modulate Dye Aggregation,Charge Recombination,and Dye Regeneration in Highly Efficient Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

A series of simple phenothiazine‐based dyes, namely, TP , EP , TTP , ETP , and EEP have been developed, in which the thiophene (T), ethylenedioxythiophene (E), their dimers, and mixtures are present to modulate dye aggregation, charge recombination, and dye regeneration for highly efficient dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. Devices sensitized by the dyes TP and TTP display high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 8.07 (J_sc=15.2 mA cm^?2, V_oc=0.783 V, fill factor (FF)=0.679) and 7.87 % (J_sc=16.1 mA cm^?2, V_oc=0.717 V, FF=0.681), respectively; these were measured under simulated AM 1.5 sunlight in conjunction with the I^?/I₃^? redox couple. By replacing the T group with the E unit, EP ‐based DSSCs had a slightly lower PCE of 7.98 % with a higher short‐circuit photocurrent (J_sc) of 16.7 mA cm^?2. The dye ETP , with a mixture of E and T, had an even lower PCE of 5.62 %. Specifically, the cell based on the dye EEP , with a dimer of E, had inferior J_sc and V_oc values and corresponded to the lowest PCE of 2.24 %. The results indicate that the photovoltaic performance can be finely modulated through structural engineering of the dyes. The selection of T analogues as donors can not only modulate light absorption and energy levels, but also have an impact on dye aggregation and interfacial charge recombination of electrons at the interface of titania, electrolytes, and/or oxidized dye molecules; this was demonstrated through DFT calculations, electrochemical impedance analysis, and transient photovoltage studies.     

Thiophene–nitroxide radical as a novel combination of sensitizer–redox mediator for dye-sensitized solar cells

We report a novel combination of organic sensitizer and redox mediator in the electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs): a thiophene dye and nitroxide radicals. Nitroxide radicals and their oxidized counterparts of oxoammonium cations show robust reversible redox reactions, thus supporting robust DSSC operations. Moreover, their redox potentials (E _1/2) and thus open-circuit voltages (V _OC) can be tuned further by attached functional groups. Optical and electrochemical characterization reveal that these new combinations exhibit enhanced V _OC and power conversion efficiencies compared to the existing iodine mediator (I⁻/I₃⁻) due to the increased V _OC. Also, the selection of the sensitizer–redox mediator turns out to be critical in the overall cell performance. Indeed, the typical ruthenium dye loses its light absorption capability when it is operated in conjunction with the nitroxide radicals.
