研究目的
Investigating the photovoltaic performance of porphyrin-based dye-sensitized solar cells with binary ionic liquid electrolytes.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that lower viscosity binary ionic liquid electrolytes with higher diffusion coefficients of triiodide ions enhance the photovoltaic performance of DSCs. The best performing device achieved a power conversion efficiency of 6.1% under standard AM 1.5G illuminations at 100 mW cm-2 with an opaque TiO2 film.
研究不足
The study is limited by the mass transport problems in the ionic liquid electrolytes under full sun intensity, which affects the photocurrent linearity. The influence of cations on the photovoltaic performance is not extensively discussed.
