Effects of potential deposition on the parameters of ZnO dye-sensitized solar cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a feasible option for photovoltaic energy. Zinc oxide is an n-type semiconductor employed as photoanode on DSSCs. ZnO thin films were electrodeposited to study the effects of different potentials applied during deposition. SEM images, XRD and UV-Vis analysis we...

Descrição
Resumo:Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a feasible option for photovoltaic energy. Zinc oxide is an n-type semiconductor employed as photoanode on DSSCs. ZnO thin films were electrodeposited to study the effects of different potentials applied during deposition. SEM images, XRD and UV-Vis analysis were conducted to reveal the morphologic, structural and optical properties of the films at three potentials. DSSCs were assembled and the photovoltaic parameters were obtained through J-V plots. DSSC with 0.031% of efficiency was demonstrated at -1.4 V of deposition potential.
