A Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Fabricated with Pressure-Treated P25−TiO2 and CuSCN:  Analysis of Pore Filling and IV Characteristics

Solid-state dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells have been fabricated with TiO2 as the electron conductor and CuSCN as the hole conductor. The cells show photocurrents of ≈8 mA/cm2, voltages of ∼600 mV, and energy efficiencies of ≈2% at 1 sun. The CuSCN was deposited into the pores of the nanoparticula...

Zusammenfassung:Solid-state dye-sensitized photovoltaic cells have been fabricated with TiO2 as the electron conductor and CuSCN as the hole conductor. The cells show photocurrents of ≈8 mA/cm2, voltages of ∼600 mV, and energy efficiencies of ≈2% at 1 sun. The CuSCN was deposited into the pores of the nanoparticulate TiO2/dye film from dilute solution in propylsulfide. The degree of pore filling achieved is near 100% for TiO2 films
