Cost-effective Sb-doped SnO₂ films as stable and efficient alternative transparent conducting electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is an ubiquitous transparent conducting oxide (TCO) used in various optoelectronic devices owing to its high optical transmittance and high electrical conductivity. The rarity of indium...

The Effect of Redox Reactions on the Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

“…Last but not least, PSCs require corrosion‐resistant electrodes with high conductivity and matching energy levels, [131] such as alloying metals (e. g., Au, Ag or Cu), [132–134] TCOs (e. g., ITO, FTO, ATO or AZO) [135–138] and carbon‐based materials (e. g., graphene, carbon nanotubes or conductive polymers) [139–141] …”

“…Last but not least, PSCs require corrosion-resistant electrodes with high conductivity and matching energy levels, [131] such as alloying metals (e. g., Au, Ag or Cu), [132][133][134] TCOs (e. g., ITO, FTO, ATO or AZO) [135][136][137][138] and carbon-based materials (e. g., graphene, carbon nanotubes or conductive polymers). [139][140][141] Furthermore, several common transparent metal oxide electron (e. g., ZnO, TiO 2 , SnO 2 ) and hole (e. g., NiO x , MoO x or CuO x ) transport materials will inevitably produce problematic hydroxyl group-rich oxides.…”

AgBr nanoparticle surface modified SnO2 enhanced visible light catalytic performance: characterization, mechanism and kinetics study

“…16,17 Elemental mixing and semiconductor compounding are the two most commonly used modification methods for SnO 2 . Elemental mixing is mainly used in the field of battery research, and different types of elements can achieve different modification effects: Sb 18 and Yb 19 can improve the conductivity, Ag 20 can improve the arc erosion performance, and Er 21 and Pb 22 can improve the optical emission performance. A semiconductor composite is commonly used in the field of photocatalysis, such as TiO 2 , 23 Bi 12 O 15 C l6 , 24 g-C 3 N 4 (ref.…”

First principles study of the electronic structure of antimony (Sb) and samarium (Sm) doped tin dioxide (SnO2) based on big data analysis

“…It was shown that a +5 charge state exists when Sb is replaced in the SnO2 lattice. The literature [11] demonstrated that the doping of Sb into the SnO2 lattice leads to an improvement in the properties and performance of DSSCs. Its increased hydrophilicity compared to the undoped SnO2 electrode and the merit value of the doped electrode is 8.23, and the thin layer resistance value is 12.…”
