研究目的
Investigating the effect of polyvinyl-alcohol/titanium dioxide (PVA/TiO2) nanofibers as a light scattering layer (LSL) on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
研究成果
The incorporation of PVA/TiO2 nanofibers as LSL on TiO2 nanoparticles photoanodes significantly improves the PCE of DSSCs by reducing radiation loss and increasing electron excitation. This enhancement is attributed to the improved light scattering effect and increased electron life time.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term stability of the DSSC devices with PVA/TiO2 nanofibers as LSL. The increase in internal resistance due to the addition of LSL slightly reduces the fill factor.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized electrospinning to prepare PVA/TiO2 nanofibers as LSL on TiO2 nanoparticles photoanodes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
TiO2 nanoparticles and PVA/TiO2 nanofibers were used as samples.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included Ruthenizer 535-bis TBA (N719), Iodolyte Z-100, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and titanium dioxide (TiO2, Degussa P25). Equipment included FESEM (JEOL JSM-7600F), XRD Diffractometer (Shimadzu), and Autolab PGSTAT204 for EIS.
4:5). Equipment included FESEM (JEOL JSM-7600F), XRD Diffractometer (Shimadzu), and Autolab PGSTAT204 for EIS. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The photoanodes were prepared using a doctor blade technique, and the DSSC devices were assembled by sandwiching the sensitized photoanodes and counter electrode.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
