Dye-sensitized solar cells based on different nano-oxides on plastic PET substrate

Engineering flexible dye-sensitized solar cells for portable electronics

“…The based FDSSCs not only provides convenience to user, but also is manufactured by roll-toroll mass production. So TPCO is expected to replace ITO/FTO glass for decreasing product cost [63].…”

Chemical sintering by chlorinated carbon compounds for flexible photoanodes of dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells

“…In contrast, the preparation of exible TiO 2 lms requires a low temperature (#150 °C) sintering process to prevent the thermal degradation of the plastic substrates, although it generally results in poor PV performance due to inefficient charge transfer at the interface of the substrate/TiO 2 lm caused by an imperfect interconnection of TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and poor adhesion of the lm. 5,6 Therefore, it is essential to develop an effective strategy to prepare well-interconnected m-TiO 2 lms with high mechanical strength and strong adhesion to the substrate under low-temperature sintering conditions for high-efficiency exible photoanodes. Various methods have been suggested for the fabrication of exible TiO 2 photoanodes under low-temperature processing conditions such as electrophoretic deposition, [7][8][9] spray deposition, [10][11][12][13][14] chemical vapor deposition, 15 pulsed laser annealing, 16 light annealing, 17,18 heat sink assisted annealing, 19,20 mechanical compression, [21][22][23][24] lioff transfer, 25,26 and chemical sintering.…”
