研究目的
Investigating the stability and degradation rate of natural green dye-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) under illumination.
研究成果
The research demonstrated that while open circuit voltage and fill factor of the cell increase with time, short circuit current decreases significantly, leading to degradation in cell efficiency. Proper packaging, UV filter, and UV stable electrolyte are suggested for further stability of the cell.
研究不足
The study highlights the low cell efficiency and stability of natural dye-based DSSCs, which limits their use. The presence of hydroxyl groups and UV exposure leads to chemical instability and decomposition of the electrolyte.
