Preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 thin film at low temperature and its application in dye-sensitized solar cell

The electrophoretic deposition combined with common pressure hydrothermal treatment was employed to prepare nanocrystalline TiO₂ thin film from suspension of tetra-n-butyl titanate and P25 at low temperature. The tetra-n-butyl titanate was hydrolyzed and crystallized into anatase to interconnect nanocrystalline TiO₂ particles and to stick them to a conductive substrate by common pressure hydrothermal treatment to improve the electron transport properties of the deposited thin film. A dye-sensitized solar cell based on TiO₂ thin film prepared by the low temperature method yielded the conversion efficiency of 6.12%. Due to the relative slower electron transport rate in the deposited film, its conversion efficiency was slightly lower than that of the cell with TiO₂ thin film prepared by the conventional high temperature sintering method. Since it is free of high temperature sintering step, this method can be used to prepare nanocrystalline TiO₂ thin film on plastic polymer conductive substrate for fabrication of flexible dye-sensitized solar cell.

Composite Electrode SnO2／TiO2 for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Composite nanoporous electrode SnO2/TiO2 was fabricated for the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with N3 (Cis-Ru). After introducing of TiO2, the open-circuit photovoltage (Voc) was higher than that of the pure SnO2 electrode, while short-circuit photocurrent (Isc) was varied with the ratio of the TiO2. Appropriate content of the TiO2 can be beneficial to the efficiency of the solar cell, and it gives negative impact on the composite electrode when the content of TiO2 is higher.     

Electrochemical impedance spectra of CdSe quantume dots sensitized nanocrystalline TiO_2 solar cells

Addition of TiO2 nanowires in different polymorphs for dye-sensitized solar cells

TiO₂ (B) and TiO₂ anatase nanowires were prepared at 150 °C for 120 h by a hydrothermal method followed by calcination in air at 400 °C for 2 h and at 700 °C for 2 h for TiO₂ (B) and TiO₂ anatase, respectively. Although dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) with fully nanowire electrodes showed a rather low light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 1.33 % for TiO₂ (B) and 2.42% for TiO₂ anatase, 10 wt % nanowire-dispersed electrodes in a P-25 TiO₂-nanoparticle matrix demonstrated improved efficiency of 6.17 % for TiO₂ (B) and 6.53% for TiO₂ anatase, these exceeding that of pure P-25 electrodes in this work (η=5.59%). The dominant mechanisms of the improvement at 10 wt% for the two different polymorphs are thought to be different, i.e., a light-scattering and film-thickness increment for the TiO₂ (B) system, whereas there is an improved conduction path through the matrix for the TiO₂ anatase system.      

Influence of Modification of Counter Electrode on Photoelectric Properties of Dye-sensitized TiO2 Solar Cells

A dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cell(DYSC) was assembled, of which counter electrode was modified already by platinum, nickel and carbon. It was found that the DYSC had better photoelectric performance when the electrode was modified by platinum than by nickel and carbon. The influence of the incidence light wavelength on the incidence monochromatic photoelectric conversion effieieney(IPCE) was investigated.The result shows that the IPCE mainly depends on the short-circuit current density(Isc) of a DYSC, and the IPCE reaches 48.32% under the irradiation with the wavelength of 560 nm when the counter electrode of a DYSC was modified by platinum. The influence of incident light intensity on the photoelectric properties of a DYSC was also investigated. It was found that the Isc and open-circuit voltage(Voc) increased and the fill factor(ff) of the DYSC decreased with the increase of the incident light intensity.
