Performance of the Dye-sensitized Solid-state Photovoltaic Solar Cell Depending on the Cluster Size of Tio2 Electrode

Abstract

A fully dye-sensitized solid-state photovoltaic nanoporous n-Ti02/dye/p-Cul was constructed by depositing p-Cul onto a nano-porous film of n-Ti02 coated with dye. Tannin and cyanidin were used as the dyes coated on the TiO2 electrode. The photovbltage and the photocurrent of the cell mainly depended on the cluster size of the T 1O2 film. And,the Tí0 2 electrode with two layers of different particle sizes also affected on the photovoltage . and photocurrent of this cell.
