研究目的
Investigating the effect of ruthenium doping on the performance of titanium dioxide (P25-TiO2) electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
研究成果
Ru doping of TiO2 electrodes at an optimal concentration (0.3 mol%) significantly enhances the efficiency of DSSCs by reducing charge recombination rates and improving electron transport, as confirmed by EIS analysis. This doping strategy presents a promising approach to improving the performance of DSSCs.
研究不足
The study was limited to the effects of Ru doping on TiO2 electrodes within a specific concentration range (0.15 to 0.6 mol%). The research did not explore the effects of other dopants or broader concentration ranges.
