A Bi-layer Composite Film Based on TiO(2) Hollow Spheres, P25, and Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Efficient Photoanode of Dye-sensitized Solar Cell

ABSTRACT: A bi-layer photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated, in which TiO(2) hollow spheres (THSs) were designed as a scattering layer and P25/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as an under-layer. The THSs were synthesized by a sacrifice template method and showed good lig...

description ABSTRACT: A bi-layer photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated, in which TiO(2) hollow spheres (THSs) were designed as a scattering layer and P25/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as an under-layer. The THSs were synthesized by a sacrifice template method and showed good light scattering ability as an over-layer of the photoanode. MWNTs were mixed with P25 to form an under-layer of the photoanode to improve the electron transmission ability of the photoanode. The power conversion efficiency of this kind of DSSC with bi-layer was enhanced to 5.13 %, which is 14.25 % higher than that of pure P25 DSSC. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: A bi-layer composite photoanode based on P25/MWNTs-THSs with improved light scattering and electron transmission, which will provide a new insight into fabrication and structure design of highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.
