Fabrication and Characterization of Dye-sensitized Solar Cells based on Anodic Titanium Oxide Nanotube Arrays Sensitized with Heteroleptic Ruthenium Dyes
Abstract:Anodic self-organized titania nanotube (TNT) arrays have a great potential as efficient electron-transport materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Herewith we report the photovoltaic and kinetic investigations for a series of heteroleptic ruthenium complexes (RD16-RD18) sensitized on TNT films for DSSC applications. We found that the RD16 device had an enhanced short-circuit current density (JSC/mA cm-2 = 15.0) and an efficiency of power conversion (h = 7.2 %) greater than that of a N719 device (h = 7… Show more
