In this work, we used TiO2 particles prepared by TiC14 hydrolysis n times on A1203 films (A/T(n)), and investigated morphology, photoelectric, and electron transport properties of A/T(n). The TiO2 shell was composed of 10-20 nm nanoparticles and the number of nanoparticles increased with increasing TIC14 treatment times. The highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of 3.23% was obtained as A/T(4). IMPS results indicated that electron transport rate was high enough to conduct current, and was not the dominating effect to limit the Jsc. Jsc was mainly determined by dye loading on TiO2 and the interconnection of TiO2. These may provide a new strategy for preparing semiconductor working electrodes for DSSC.展开更多

The CuI in the composite was pure γ-phase, as was characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dye-sensitized solar cell with PEDOT/PSS-CuI (15% in wt) nanocomposlte as hole-transport electrolyte exhibited a considerable photocurrent, photovoltage and energy conversion efficiency (i.e. Jsc = 0.50 mA·cm^-2, Voc = 0.44 V, η= 0.1%).展开更多
