“…However, the insert of Figure 4C which shows the difference between aligned and misaligned J SC measurements, does not reflect the spectral property of the sensitizer. The alignment of pump and probe seem to enhance the cell performance across the entire visible spectrum and suggests that the enhancement comes from trap-filling which enhances the overall performance of the device, due to laser biasing 30 .…”

The poor response of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) to red and infrared light is a significant impediment to the realization of higher photocurrents and hence higher efficiencies. Photon up-conversion by way of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is an attractive technique for using these otherwise wasted low energy photons to produce photocurrent, while not interfering with the photoanodic performance in a deleterious manner. Further to this, TTA-UC has a number of features, distinct from other reported photon up-conversion technologies, which renders it particularly suitable for coupling with DSC technology. In this work, a proven high performance TTA-UC system, comprising a palladium porphyrin sensitizer and rubrene emitter, is combined with a high performance DSC (utilizing the organic dye D149) in an integrated device. The device shows an enhanced response to sub-bandgap light over the absorption range of the TTA-UC sub-unit resulting in the highest figure of merit for up-conversion assisted DSC performance to date.

“…The time behaviour is reported in Figure 11. In the first three days there a slight increase in J sc and, hence, in efficiency of the solar cell was observed: in this time range, the electrolyte manages to completely fill all the pores of the TiO 2 structure [52].…”

Dye‐sensitized and perovskite solar cells have seen tremendous efforts in their development in recent years. Amongst these developments are the design and implementation of fabrication techniques that can guarantee high performance as well as scalability over large areas. Laser processing has become a versatile and important tool in many industries and has also been applied successfully to both types of solar cell technologies, culminating in the demonstration of dye solar devices where all temperature treatments have been replaced with laser techniques, and of high‐performance solid‐state perovskite modules. Herein, we introduce concepts and review the available literature, pertaining to the effective utilization of laser beams for the development of both dye‐sensitized and perovskite photovoltaic technologies.
