Significantly Increasing Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using Nanostructured ZnO Electrodes

Invention Summary: Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received considerable attention as a cost-effective alternative to conventional solar cells. However, a major efficiency limiting factor in current nanoparticle-based DSSCs is the trap-limited diffusion transport mechanism of electrons, a slow mechanism that limits the device efficiency,...
