研究目的
Investigating the synthesis of carbon-doped NiO nanoparticles and their application in p-type dye-sensitized solar cells to achieve high open-circuit voltage and efficiency.
研究成果
The carbon-doped NiO photocathode based dye-sensitized solar cells exhibited significantly improved efficiency of up to 0.053% with a new record VOC of 0.50 V and a comparable JSC of 0.202 mA cm-2. The improved performance is attributed to the effective modulation of doping-introduced characters, including morphology, crystallinity, electrical conductivity, and charge transfer ability.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and application of carbon-doped NiO in dye-sensitized solar cells, with limitations including the need for high-temperature calcination and the trade-off between surface area and charge transport properties.
