High-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells based on bilayer structured photoanode consisting of carbon nanofiber/TiO2 composites and Ag@TiO2 core-shell spheres

PVP-derived TiO2/C and TiO2/C/N Nanofibers by SBS with High Adsorption/Photocatalytic Capacity

“…Because of this, several researchers have investigated and developed TiO 2 in combination with other substances forming various binary and ternary compounds to extend the light absorption range in the visible light spectrum 10,11 . TiO 2 /carbon (TiO 2 /C) and TiO 2 /carbon/ nitrogen (TiO 2 /C/N) nanocomposite has been extensively studied due to its potential for advanced applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells 12 , anode material for sodium-ion batteries [13][14][15] , an electrode for supercapacitors 16,17 , electrochemical sensor 18 , electrocatalysis and photocatalysis [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . When TiO 2 is combined with carbon, it can manifest several improved properties compared to pure TiO 2…”

Design of blueberry anthocyanin/TiO2 composite layer-based photoanode and N-doped porous blueberry-derived carbon-loaded Ni nanoparticle-based counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells

“… 10 Lu et al doped hierarchical carbon nanofibers (CFs) in TiO 2 and the photoelectron migration in the photoanode was improved. 11 Khan et al synthesized cobalt-reduced graphene oxide Co-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles by the sol–gel method, which effectively improved the electron transport ability of the Co/rGO-TiO 2 photoanode. 12 The doping of carbon materials in the TiO 2 layer is a very effective method to improve the electron collection characteristics of DSSCs devices.…”
