“…In 2017, Liu et al reported that the light‐harvesting ability could be greatly enhanced by samarium (Sm 3+ ) doping due to the down‐conversion luminescence effect of Sm 3+ ions. This article also reported that power conversion efficiency and photovoltaic performance were enhanced in Sm 3+ ‐doped TiO 2 photoanodes as compared to pristine TiO 2 photoanodes Liu et al studied the effect of RE, Sm 3+ , doping on TiO 2 photoanodes in DSSCs.…”

The present review article aims at the application of rare-earth-based titanium dioxide nanocrystals as spectral converters in photovoltaic devices, with special focus on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Additionally, the implementation of DSSCs in energy storage, more importantly, DSSCs and lithium-ion batteries (LIB) integrated devices are systematically described. The absorption in DSSCs is mainly confined to the visible solar spectrum, which is one of the main reasons behind its limited power conversion efficiency. This has led to shifting of research focus on broadening the light absorption range of DSSCs, which can further lead to enhancement in overall power conversion efficiency. TiO 2 , doped with rare-earth (RE) ions, is often used as an electron transport layer (ETL) in DSSCs to overcome this absorption-related issue. This article gives a detailed review of TiO 2 doped with different RE ions, as an electron transport layer in DSSCs. More importantly, we have summarized all the recent important findings with the application of DSSCs in LIB and photocapacitors.

“…So, the efficiency of solar PV gadgets using electrolyte combined with polymer is lesser than the PV cells using liquid type electrolyte. As of now, gel type polymer electrolyte exchanged solid polymer electrolyte because of its ionic conductivity was greater than its solid condition, with a specific goal to enhance the performance of DSSC [27,28]. One of the principle issues for the advancement of gel or solid electrolytes is to diminish the drop in the power conversion efficiency achieved by the decreased ionic mobility in gel or solid electrolytes.…”

Abstract. The layered double hydroxides (LDH) which are anionic clay substances comprising of stacked cationic layers and interlayer anions. The cationic sheets contain octahedral structure consisting the divalent and trivalent ions in the center and hydroxyl bunches in the corners, gathered by three bonding with the neighbouring octahedra on every side of the layer. The ratio between the quantity of cations and OH − ions is 2:1, so a positive charge shows up on the layer because of the presence of trivalent cations. The interlayer space gives the compensation anions and water molecules, assuring a balanced out layered structure. The LDH materials were successfully synthesised from magnesium, aluminium, zinc and chromium chloride salts utilizing the co-precipitation technique. A Zn-Al LDH was researched as a potential sorbent material. This article reviews the recent advances in the preparation and intercalation of layered double hydroxides and its application in the fabrication of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC).

“…This can be achieved by various techniques. They are polymer blending, co-polymerization, addition of nano llers and the incorporation of organic plasticizers [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The addition of organic plasticizers decreases both the crystallinity and polymer-polymer chain interactions in polymer electrolytes.…”

Benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes were prepared by solution casting technique. The crystallinity, surface morphology, ionic conductivity and photovoltaic performance of polymer electrolytes were analyzed. The PXRD studies have confirmed the decreased and increased crystallinity of benzoguanamine doped polymer electrolytes. The surface morphology of polymer electrolytes is discussed using SEM analysis. From the AC-impedance analysis, ionic conductivity of benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes were calculated as 5.57 × 10− 6 Scm− 1, 1.05 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 5.95 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 3.09 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 1.56 × 10− 5 Scm− 1 and 1.48 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, respectively. The photovoltaic performance of benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes based DSSCs have achieved 1.5%, 1.9%, 2.8%, 2.5%, 2.3% and 2.1% power conversion efficiency, respectively.
