Stepped light-induced transient measurements of photocurrent and voltage in dye-sensitized solar cells based on ZnO and ZnO:Ga

In order to explain the higher short-circuit current ( J sc ) with comparable open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) from dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on gallium-modified ZnO (ZnO:Ga) porous electrodes, the diffusion coefficient ( D ) and electron lifetime ( τ ) in DSCs with and without Ga-modifie...

description In order to explain the higher short-circuit current ( J sc ) with comparable open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) from dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on gallium-modified ZnO (ZnO:Ga) porous electrodes, the diffusion coefficient ( D ) and electron lifetime ( τ ) in DSCs with and without Ga-modified ZnO were studied by stepped light-induced transient measurements of photocurrent and voltage. In comparison to DSCs based on ZnO electrodes, the ZnO:Ga-based solar cells provided lower D and higher τ values. The results were interpreted according to the transport-limited recombination model, where the Ga modification induced a higher density of intraband charge traps. At matched electron densities, a decrease in V oc from DSCs based on ZnO:Ga was observed, suggesting a positive shift of the ZnO:Ga conduction band edge. The higher J sc can be explained by the positive shift of the ZnO:Ga conduction band edge in addition to the increased roughness factor of the electrode due to the Ga modification.
