Promoting effect of graphene on dye - sensitized solar cells / Hui Wang in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 51 N° 32 (Août 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 51 N° 32 (Août 2012) . - pp. 10613-10620 Titre : Promoting effect of graphene on dye - sensitized solar cells Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hui Wang, Auteur ; Samantha L Leonard, Auteur ; Yun Hang Hu, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 10613-10620 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dyes Résumé : In this paper, a simple approach without a prereduction of graphene oxide was exploited to prepare a graphene-doped TiO2 film for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The performance measurement of the DSSCs showed that the incorporation of graphene could increase the short-circuit current density and power conversion efficiency by 52.4 and 55.3%, respectively. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the performance enhancement was due to the promoting effect of graphene on electron transfer instead of the increase of dye loading in TiO2/graphene composite films. However, graphene can also absorb solar light, which could lead to the decrease of light harvest of dye molecules and thus a negative effect on the power conversion efficiency of DSSCs. Furthermore, graphene might decrease the actual dye loading on TiO2 in a TiO2/graphene film, which can also make a negative contribution to the conversion efficiency. As a result, the promoting effect of graphene is strongly dependent on its content; namely, the efficiency of DSSCs increases to the maximum value and then decreases with increasing graphene content in TiO2/graphene composites.
