“…In 1995, Tennakone et al first demonstrated an SSDSC based on CuI HTM in conjunction with cyanidin dye [54], which was later improved by replacement with a Ru-bipyridyl complex dye, showing a PCE of 4.5% [55]. There have been several strategies for photovoltaic performance enhancement.…”

Considering the increasing global demand for energy and the harmful ecological impact of conventional energy sources, it is obvious that development of clean and renewable energy is a necessity. Since the Sun is our only external energy source, harnessing its energy, which is clean, non-hazardous and infinite, satisfies the main objectives of all alternative energy strategies. With attractive features, i.e., good performance, low-cost potential, simple processibility, a wide range of applications from portable power generation to power-windows, photoelectrochemical solar cells like dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) represent one of the promising methods for future large-scale power production directly from sunlight. While the sensitization of n-type semiconductors (n-SC) has been intensively studied, the use of p-type semiconductor (p-SC), e.g., the sensitization of wide bandgap p-SC and hole transport materials with p-SC have also been attracting great attention. Recently, it has been proved that the p-type inorganic semiconductor as a charge selective material or a charge transport material in organometallic lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) shows a significant impact on solar cell performance. Therefore the study of p-type semiconductors is important to rationally design efficient DSCs and PSCs. In this review, recent published works on p-type DSCs and PSCs incorporated with an inorganic p-type semiconductor and our perspectives on this topic are discussed.

“…The short-circuit current density reached about 1.5-2.0 mAcm -2 in sunlight (about 800 Wm -2 ), however, they found that the polarization arising from mobile Cu + ions tends to decrease the open-circuit voltage of the cell. By replacing cyanidin with a Ru-bipyridyl complex dye, they (Tennakone et al, 1998) then fabricated a solid-state DSC with the structure of TiO 2 /Ru(II)(dcbpy) 2 (SCN) 2 /CuI in 1998. The efficiency and the stability of the solid-state DSC was less than those of the typical DSCs.…”

“…Nanocrystalline TiO 2 films were formed by the hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide according to the literature [20,23]. Thus, 0.5 mL of titanium isopropoxide (Aldrich, 99 %) was slowly added with vigorous stirring to a mixture of 2.5 mL of glacial acetic acid (Sigma Aldrich), 7.5 mL of isopropanol (Sigma Aldrich) and 2.5 mL of deionized water under argon atmosphere.…”

ABSTRACT. Poly[3-(2',5'-diheptyloxyphenyl)thiophene], PDHOPT, has been prepared electrochemically from its monomer for solar cell application. PDHOPT exhibits a band gap of 2.1 eV. The redox properties of PDHOPT were characterized using cyclic voltammetry. The estimated energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are -5.3 eV and -3.2 eV, respectively. PDHOPT sensitizes nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (nc-TiO2) in liquid-state photoelectrochemical cells. Devices where the photoactive electrode consists of nc-TiO2/PDHOPT composite film show improved performance over those that consist of only PDHOPT. Devices made of TiO2/PDHOPT composite film produced an open-circuit voltage of 0.52 V, a short-circuit current of 29 µA/cm 2
