Abstract

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are garnering significant interest because of their cost-effective production process and promising potential for future prospects. This paper presents an innovative approach to the fabrication of DSSCs. Further, a comparative study of DSSCs has been carried to evaluate the performance of the solar cells. BaSnO₃ (BSO)- and TiO₂-based DSSCs were fabricated with the incorporation of a ruthenium-based N719 dye [(Bu₄N)₂(Ru)(dcbpyH)₂(NCS)₂]. The sol–gel technique, facilitated by a microwave oven, was employed for the synthesis of the solar cell materials. Subsequently, these materials were deposited on a fluorine-doped SnO₂ glass substrate via doctor blade method. Comprehensive analysis of the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the powder and FTO/BSO/N719/electrolyte/Pt and FTO/TiO₂/N719/electrolyte/Pt cells was conducted using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, and current–voltage (J–V) characteristics. The BSO DSSC demonstrated higher incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency in the UV–Vis region and better overall performance than the TiO₂-based cell with a similar experimental environment. The BSO-based DSSC exhibited maximum conversion efficiency (ƞ) of 2.64%, whereas the TiO₂-based DSSC demonstrated maximum conversion efficiency of 2.19%.

利用复合钌衍生 N719 染料的 BaSnO3 和 TiO2 染料敏化太阳能电池比较研究

染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSCs）因其具有成本效益的生产工艺和广阔的发展前景而备受关注。本文提出了一种新型的DSSCs制备方法。此外，还进行了DSSCs的比较研究，以评估太阳能电池的性能。采用钌基N719染料[(Bu4N)2(Ru)(dcbpyH)2(NCS)2]制备了基于BaSnO3 (BSO)-和基于tio2的DSSCs。采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了太阳能电池材料。随后，通过博士刀片法将这些材料沉积在含氟SnO2玻璃基板上。利用x射线衍射、扫描电镜、紫外-可见-近红外光谱和电流-电压（J-V）特性对粉末、FTO/BSO/N719/电解质/Pt和FTO/TiO2/N719/电解质/Pt电池的结构、光学和电学性能进行了综合分析。在相同的实验环境下，BSO DSSC在UV-Vis区域表现出更高的入射光子-电流转换效率和更好的综合性能。bso基DSSC的最大转化效率为2.64%，而tio2基DSSC的最大转化效率为2.19%。图形抽象

期刊介绍： The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) reports monthly on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, dielectrics, nanoscale materials, and photonic materials. The journal welcomes articles on methods for preparing and evaluating the chemical, physical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials. Specific areas of interest are materials for state-of-the-art transistors, nanotechnology, electronic packaging, detectors, emitters, metallization, superconductivity, and energy applications. Review papers on current topics enable individuals in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas peripheral to their own. JEM also selects papers from conferences such as the Electronic Materials Conference, the U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials, and the International Conference on Thermoelectrics. It benefits both specialists and non-specialists in the electronic materials field. A journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
