研究目的
Investigating the effects of surfactant mediated TiO2 photoanodes and Cu2ZnSnS4 counter electrodes on the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells.
研究成果
The DSSCs employing the counter electrodes of CZTS deposited on TiCl4 treated FTO substrate, and photoelectrodes of SDS mediated TiO2 exhibited 6.24% of power conversion efficiency. The enhancement in efficiency may be attributed to improved carrier transfer to the substrate from continuous, uniform and highly mechanical stable CZTS counter electrodes after TiCl4 treatment. The highly oriented microflowers of TiO2 nanorods may provide an effective pathway for maximum dye adsorption leading to high-power conversion efficiency.
研究不足
The study is limited to the effects of SDS surfactant on the morphology of TiO2 nanostructured thin films and their application in DSSCs. Potential areas for optimization include the concentration of SDS and the conditions for hydrothermal synthesis.
