研究目的
Investigating the performance of TiO2 based dye-sensitized solar cells fabricated using Coomassie Brilliant Blue in acetonitrile solution.
研究成果
The fabricated DSSC showed an enhanced solar-to-electrical energy conversion. The DSSC sensitized by CBB in acetonitrile offered good conversion efficiency of 2.264 %. Further improvements can possibly be accomplished by optimizing the system.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the long-term stability and durability of the fabricated DSSCs under operational conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles using sol-gel technique and the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) as a dye.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using XRD and HRTEM. CBB dye was prepared and characterized using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Titanium isopropoxide, isopropyl alcohol, acetic acid, distilled water, ammonia, acetonitrile, Coomassie Brilliant Blue, FTO glass, polyethylene glycol, Lithium Iodide, Iodine, tert-butyl alcohol.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized, and used to fabricate DSSCs. The DSSCs were then tested for photovoltaic performance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the DSSCs was evaluated using a sun-simulator to measure open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, fill factor, and efficiency.
