Si-decorated photoanodes for dye sensitised solar cells
In this work, modification of nanocrystalline TiO2 photoanodes consisting of 20 nm diameter spheres for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), by introducing silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) of different sizes, larger than TiO2 particles, obtained by two different pulsed laser technologies: mesoporous silicon ablation and micron-sized silicon powder fragmentation was studied. The distribution of various types of particles in the functional layer of the photoanode was obtained using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The effect of Si-NP size on photovoltaic properties was demonstrated. Dye-sensitized photoanodes modified with mezo Si-NPs demonstrated 17 % increase in short-circuit current (jsc) and increased energy conversion efficiency due to reduced electron recombination and improved charge collection compared to unmodified TiO2. Thus, the obtained results on modification of the surface of TiO2 photoanodes with Si-NPs have potential for improving the efficiency and stability of DSSCs.
期刊介绍:
Thin Solid Films is an international journal which serves scientists and engineers working in the fields of thin-film synthesis, characterization, and applications. The field of thin films, which can be defined as the confluence of materials science, surface science, and applied physics, has become an identifiable unified discipline of scientific endeavor.
