Future prospects for DSSCs and its fabrication parameters with efficiency enhancement
Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells which combine the unique properties of both the organic compound and inorganic compound have attracted the attention of scientists. Thin film of TiO2 paste deposited on ITO (Indium doped Tin Oxide) acts as one electrode, Carbon electrode acts as counter electrode and ruthenium as the sensitizer. I-/I3- is used as the electrolyte. An increase of output potential when the cell was heated over a short period of …

Review of Silicon Reactivity of Self-assembled monolayer and its Properties
Abstract: In most cases, the assumption of perfect high viscosity between silicon and silver underlies the modelization of silicene on Ag(111). According to recent reports, growth does not take place on top of the Ag(111) terraces, but rather within the first layer of them. In this article, we present the results of a study that combines scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory to simulate the nucleation process and reveal the …

A Review on Modified TiO2 Nanostructured Materials in DSSC
Abstract: Dye sensitized solar cells DSSCs emerged as a new class of low cost energy conversion devices with simple manufacturing procedures and environmentally friendly character.TiO2 controls the light harvesting and confinement properties of the cell, in addition to preventing charge recombination and promoting charge transport toward the anode. These last two parameters are major factors in determining the charge collection efficiency. The particle size and shape, crystallinity, surface morphology and chemistry …
