“…The metallization wrap-through (MWT) approach employs a smaller number of vias, but this could provide electrolyte mass transport problems when employing highly viscous iodide-free electrolytes. Vias allow metallization for bus bars to the back of some Si-based solar cells . In this work, vias allow an ionic pathway between PE and CE through the electrolyte.…”

Flexible, lightweight transparent conducting oxide-free dye-sensitized solar cells were assembled by using metal foils for constructing both electrodes. Because of the opacity of metal foils, a different architecture was employed to allow the illumination of the photoelectrode (PE). Thousands of micrometer-sized through holes were laser-drilled into one of the metal foils employed as PE substrate, providing an ionic pathway to the counter-electrode (CE). Larger hole diameters provided higher fill factor (FF) values. Higher performances were achieved by improving porous TiO 2 layer deposition and electrolyte injection, along with a TiO 2 blocking layer (BL) and metal foil surface treatment.
