研究目的
To improve the efficiency of DSSCs by using a Li-treated TiO2/TiO2 nanotube photoelectrode on a TiO2 passivating layer to enhance dye adsorption, charge transport, and reduce electron recombination.
研究成果
The DSSCs fabricated using Li-treated photoelectrodes showed higher efficiency than those with bare TiO2 electrodes, with the highest efficiency of 7.04% achieved. The interaction of Li ions with the TiO2 electrode enhanced charge injection from Ru dyes into TiO2 due to its lowered conduction band. The study demonstrated that DSSCs based on Li-treated TNPs/TNTs exhibit better photovoltaic performances than those with pure TiO2 nanoparticles.
研究不足
The study focused on improving DSSC efficiency through Li treatment and TNT incorporation but did not explore the long-term stability or scalability of the fabricated DSSCs. The optimal conditions were identified, but the mechanisms behind the efficiency improvements could be further investigated.
