“…∘ C in dark maintaining 5.5% PCE [136], 2.5 years in outdoor conditions without specification about module efficiency [137], or 2280 hours at room temperature under 80 mW/cm 2 light soaking [138], or more recently Dyesol Ltd. achieved as long as 25600 hours at 55 ∘ C-60 ∘ C under continuous light soaking with preserving 4% efficiency [139]. Since the seminal publication by Graetzel, only very few articles have reported stability at higher temperatures, requiring, as it seems, more viscous liquids to alleviate sealing issues, as, for instance, gelified electrolyte or solvent-free ionic liquids [140][141][142][143].…”

The purpose of this review is to gather the current background in materials development and provide the reader with an accurate image of today's knowledge regarding the stability of dye-sensitized solar cells. This contribution highlights the literature from the 1970s to the present day on nanostructured TiO 2 , dye, Pt counter electrode, and liquid electrolyte for which this review is focused on.

“…Publications on EIS measurement of solar panels have looked into the impact of different materials (eg different electrolyte alloys) on solar cell impedance [2], the impact of different connection mechanisms (eg series vs parallel) [3], the impact of temperature [4][5] and the impact of outdoor use on degradation [5][6][7][8]. These papers typically produce EIS plots which are used to determine equivalent circuit parameters and show variation with time.…”

“…By way of illustration, Fig. 1 is a high level sketch of the EIS Nyquist plot shapes previously obtained in literature [4][5][6][7][8] showing how the EIS parameters for dye-sensitized cells may be expected to change with condition as indicated by the arrows. EIS is more common in the field of battery analysis than it is in the field of solar cell analysis.…”

You will be contacted as soon as possible. a b s t r a c tThough environmental improvement has been claimed for the application of nanotechnology to solar cells, several characteristics of the fullerene-based organic, and the dye-sensitized nanoparticulate, solar cell are not conducive to such improvement. These include relatively high energy and materials inputs in the production of nanoparticles, a relatively low solar radiation to electricity conversion efficiency, a relatively short service life, the use of relatively scarce metals and relatively poor recyclability, if compared with the multicrystalline Si solar cell which currently is the market leader. Moreover, the lack of data and the inability of current methods to handle hazards of nanoparticles generate problems in conducting comparative life cycle assessment of nanoparticulate solar cells. So far, the claimed environmental advantage can not be substantiated for fullerene-based and dye-sensitized nanoparticulate solar cells. There are options for the environmental improvement of these nanoparticulate solar cells, but actual development does not seem to focus on environmental improvement.
