研究目的
Investigating the effects of cobalt doping on the properties of TiO2 nanoparticles for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC).
研究成果
Cobalt doping in TiO2 nanoparticles significantly enhances the power conversion efficiency of DSSCs by up to 65%. The doping influences the polymorph transformation from anatase to rutile and vice versa, reduces electron–hole recombination, and increases optical bandgap energy. The highest efficiency was observed for the 0.1 M Co-doped TiO2 photo-electrode.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effects of cobalt doping on TiO2 nanoparticles for DSSC applications, but does not explore other dopants or applications. The efficiency improvements are significant but may not be optimal for all DSSC designs.
