Mechanical integrity of dye-sensitized photovoltaic fibers

Alternative Resources for Renewable Energy: Piezoelectric and Photovoltaic Smart Structures

“…They studied two different methods; atmospheric thermal CVC and microwave PECVD and the top (TCO) and bottom (metal) electrodes were deposited by thermal evaporation technique. There are also more recent works on the design of OPV based fibres [135][136][137] and DSSC based fibres [138][139][140].…”

Progress in Organic Photovoltaic Fibers Research

“…In recent years, there are several studies about photovoltaic fibers based on polycrystalline silicon (Kuraseko et al, 2006), dye sensitized solar cells (Fan et al, 2008;Ramier et al, 2008;Toivola et al, 2009) and organic solar cells (Bedeloglu et al, 2009(Bedeloglu et al, , 2010a(Bedeloglu et al, , 2010b(Bedeloglu et al, , 2010c(Bedeloglu et al, , 2011Curran et al, 2006;Curran et al, 2008;Curran et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2007a;Liu et al, 2007b;O'Connor et al, 2008;Zhou et al, 2009;. Protection of liquid electrolyte in DSSCs is problematic causing leakage and loss of performance.…”

Flexible Photovoltaic Textiles for Smart Applications

“…The deposition of TiO 2 on flexible fibre is expected to be quite fruiteful in order to maintain the structural integrity without comparing with PV performance 49 . Fig.…”
