摘要: The present investigation described the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on various sensitizers applied TiO2-Nb2O5 core/shell photoanode film. novel photoanodes were prepared using composite TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs) and nanorods (TNRs) as core (TNPRs) layer with Nb2O5 shell coating. As well, tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), a blocking over DSSCs fabricated namely zinc phthalocyanine, indoline, indigo carmine, porphyrin, N719, coumarin NKX-2700, polymer dye, quantum dots (QDs), perylene squaraine. I–V characteristics DSSCs, photocurrent density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), photoconversion efficiency (PCE) determined under illumination AM 1.5 G. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis is carried out to study charge transport life-time carriers at photoanode/dye/electrolyte interface DSSCs. EIS results explicated that layers able alleviate electron suppressed recombination Concerning sensitizers, PCE exemplify order N719 > porphyrin NKX-2700 indoline squaraine QDs phthalocyanine dye carmine dye. work demonstrated among studied, showed highest factor. Besides, metal-free organic (coumarin indoline) exhibited comparable compared N719.
