N, S-doped TiO2 anode effect on performance of dye-sensitized solar cells

Effect of boric acid composition on the properties of ZnO thin film nanotubes and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)

“…The examples of metallic doping materials that are widely to be chosen for use in DSSC are stannum doped ZnO [3], indium doped ZnO [4] and cerium doped TiO 2 [5]. The example of non-metallic doped materials are nitrogen doped TiO 2 [6e9], sulfur doped TiO 2 [6] and graphene doped TiO 2 [10].…”

Cr-Gd co-doped TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoribbons as Photoanode in Making Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

“…The co-doping with these two metals are applied to further increase energy conversion efficiency, where each element can separately enhance device properties [25]. In addition, one element can reinforce the effect of the other [26], or may counteract some of the detrimental effects caused by the other element [27]. Cr 3+ doping of TiO 2 led to a clear red shift in the UV/Vis absorption spectrum, evidencing a decrease in band gap and VB shift, which resulted in a slightly lower value of V oc [28], while the worst was on using TiO 2 -NPs/TiO 2 -TNRs, where η% was at minimum 1.71 and the FF was 0.59.…”

Effect of growth solution concentration on the performance of gallium doped ZnO nanostructures dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)

“…The materials are doped with metallic atoms, such as indium doped ZnO [13], cerium doped TiO 2 [14], stannum doped ZnO [15], boron doped ZnO [16], alluminium doped ZnO [17]. Doping can also be done by non-metallic materials, such as nitrogen doped TiO 2 [18][19][20], grapheme doped TiO 2 [21] and sulfur doped TiO 2 [22]. The doping with metallic and non-metallic materials can modify physical properties, such as morphology and optical properties.…”

“…The performance of DSSCs was influenced by the morphology of active materials of photoanode [13][14][15]. The band gap of active materials was lowered down, increasing the rate of free electron-hole pair and consequently improves the performance of the cells [18][19][20][21][22].…”
