In recent years, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) has been rapidly developed to reach its efficiency from 7% (by O’Regan and Grätzel in1991) to 14.3 % at 1 sun conditions. It has a trend to take place of one of the important traditional energy conversion systems.
This dissertation comprises 7 chapters, where Chapter 1 is an introduction on renewable energy technologies to solve various problems associated with fossil fuels. The photovoltaic device and valuable market developments are taken into great description. In addition, the DSCs operating principle and tandem DSCs are simply introduced.
In Chapter 2, it is discussed the characteristics of four major components and interfaces such as dye, semiconductor, electrolyte and counter electrode in DSCs. Furthermore the concept of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is explained.
In Chapter 3, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with different imidazolium iodides such as DMII, MPII, and BMII showed the improved performance mostly due to the enhancement of Jsc, when compared with Pt or the pristine PEDOT counter electrode. In particular, the NF PEDOT CE doped with 0.1 M DMII has the maximum efficiency of 9.05 %, higher than the traditional Pt counter electrode. Electrochemical techniques such as Tafel, CV, and EIS were used to analyze and understand the increased performance in addition to the Raman spectroscopy.
In Chapter 4, mesoporous TiO2 surface engineering is a field to be still advanced toward highly efficient DSCs utilizing solid-state polymer electrolytes. Herein, a facile and stepwise co-sensitization method is applied for ruthenium C106 dye and organic D131 dye. After the C106 dyes are adsorbed on the TiO2 surface, D131 dyes are subsequently co-adsorbed onto empty sites of the mesoporous TiO2 surface without desorption of the C106 dyes. And their quantity is controlled by varying the concentration of the D131 dye solution. At the optimal concentration of the D131 dye solution, a remarkable energy conversion efficiency of 8.4 % is attained under 1 sun illumination conditions, as a result of a noticeable rise in photocurrent density (Jsc). According to the photovoltaic characterizations, both the light harvesting and the charge collection efficiencies prepared by the co-sensitization process is greatly superior to those of individual C106 or D131 dyes.
In Chapter 5, the concentration of PVdF-HFP in polymer-gel electrolyte was optimized to be 5 wt%. In addition, various additives such as tBP, LiI, GuNCS were added into the 5 wt% PVdF-HFP based polymer gel electrolyte, and the cell performance was improved to a large extent to the overall energy conversion efficiency of 7.05 % under 1 sun conditions due to the increases in both Voc of 0.7 V and Jsc of 14.00 mA/cm2.
In conclusion, it is realized that the overall energy conversion efficiency is promoted up to 30 % by optimizing material and kinetic properties of each component. Therefore, it needs to emphasize the importance of the understanding of structural and kinetic fundamentals on DSC. In this context, the efficiency of solid state DSCs utilizing solid polymer electrolyte would be expected to be increased to a large extent soon.
