Enhancing The Efficiency Of A Tio₂-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Through Ultrasonic Treatment Of The Photoanode
Abstract
This study explores the possibility of improving the efficiency of TiO₂-based solar cells through ultrasonic treatment during the preparation of the photoanode. The article investigates the influence of ultrasonic processing of the photoanode in a solar cell fabricated with a Ru-based dye (0.3 mM N3) and an electrolyte composed of 0.05KI + 0.10TBAI + 0.1PEO + 0.25PC + 0.25EC + 0.5DMF + 0.015I on its photoelectric performance.
Keywords
TiO₂ (titanium dioxide), DSSC (dye-sensitized solar cell), FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide)
