研究目的
Investigating the effects of doping on TiO2 photoanodes to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
研究成果
Doping TiO2 photoanodes with various elements can significantly improve the efficiency of DSSCs by reducing charge recombination and modifying electronic structures. The efficiency of DSSCs can be enhanced up to 9.6% with Sc-doped TiO2. Proper selection of dopants and optimization of doping concentrations are crucial for achieving high efficiency and stability in DSSCs.
