Energy conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is improved from 3.5% to 4.5% by adding a small amount of CuI into an ionic liquid electrolyte. It is found that other copper-I salts, for example, CuBr, h...
In dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the TiO2 underlayer can block the electron recombination at the FTO (fluorine doped SnO2) glass/electrolyte interface. This underlayer was traditionally prepared by spray-pyr...
Yb-doped TiO2 pastes with different Yb/TiO2 weight ratios are prepared in the sol-gel process to obtain dyesensitized solar cells (DSCs). The nanocrystalline size of Yb-TiO2 becomes smaller and the lattice parameter...
