The complete infiltration of P3HT between CdS nanorods interspacing was verified by scanning electron microscopy. By employing absorption and photoluminescence spectra, and current-voltage characterization the interaction between N719 molecules and CdS nanorods/P3HT interface was explored, and the role of N719 dye on the improvement of device performance was discussed.展开更多

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on the photoelectrode core-shell CdSNR array with conductive polymers nanocomposite of polyaniline (PANI) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyl-thiophene)/poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) were fabricated and designed with different types of dye molecules. DSSCs were characterized utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman scattering, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and photocurrent-voltage (J-V) characteristic. Results show that under illumination (AM 1.5 G), the high power conversion energy (PCE) was achieved for CdSNR/PANI-PEDOT:PSS device when it sensitized with ruthenium (II) (dye N-719) of 0.91% and a short circuit current density (Jsc) of 4.21 mA/cm2 in comparison with the other devices, which sensitized with natural dyes. The high performance of the CdSNR/PANI-PEDOT:PSS-N719 device attributed to the wide range of absorption and photostability for N719. This work shows that the CdSNR with N719 can be appropriate candidate for photovoltaics device for their low cost fabrication procedure and excellent absorption.展开更多

GNR with asymmetric shape had unusual anisotropic SPR[transversal surface plasmon resonance（TSPR） and longitudinal surface plasmon resonance（LSPR）]. The excel- lent SPR of GNR made it a promising candidate as enhancing light absorption material to increase power conversion efflciency（PCE）. The PCE was improved nearly 17.2% upon incorporating GNRs, mostly due to the increase in Jsc, while Vo~ and FF were unchanged. The improvement was mostly contributed by the SPR of the GNRs with coupling of N719. And there was also a complementary to N719 in visible light range. Therefore, SPR is an effective tool in improving the photocurrent and consequently enhancement of PCE. The TSPR and LSPR effects of GNRs on light harvesting were reflected in the increased monochromatic incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency（IPCE）. We also utilized finite-difference tirne-domain（FDTD） to investigate the light coupling of GNRs with TiO2. Compare to the base anode, the IPCE of optimized electrode showed significant improvement and peaks broadening at 500--600 nm and 610--710 nm. We got an increase in overall conversion efficiency from 6.4% to 7.5%.展开更多

The morphology of ZnO nanorods and ZnO nanorods/MEH-PPV hybrid structure is depicted by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and atomic force microscope (AFM), respectively. It is observed that ZnO nanorods array grows primarily aligned along the perpendicular direction of the ITO substrate. The MEH-PPV molecule does not enter the interspace between ZnO nanorods completely according to SEM picture. It results in the small and bad contact area between ZnO nanorods and MEH-PPV. To improve the photovoltaic performance, we also fabricate another kind of photovoltaic (PV) device modified by N719 dye, and exploit the effect of N719. After the modification of ZnO nanorods by N719, not only Jsc increases from 0.257 mA/cm2 to 0.42 mA/cm2, but also Voc enhances from 0.37 V to 0.42 V. Insert LiF buffer layer between MEH-PPV and anode, Jsc of 1.05 mA/cm2 is obtained, and it is 2.5 times that the device without LiF.展开更多
