研究目的
Improving the dye-sensitized solar cell's performance through a novel composite electrode of TiO2 particles with three kinds of crystal phases.
研究成果
The composite electrode containing 30 wt% brookite nanocubes and 70 wt% P25 significantly improves the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs, achieving a conversion efficiency of 7.40%. This enhancement is attributed to the synergistic effects of reduced charge recombination, higher voltage from brookite, and high surface area for dye loading from P25.
研究不足
The study focuses on the performance improvement of DSSCs using composite TiO2 electrodes but does not explore the long-term stability or scalability of the fabrication process.
