Abstract

As proficient photovoltaic devices, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received considerable consideration in recent years. In order to accomplish advanced solar-to-electricity efficiency and increase long-term functioning stability, improvements in the configuration structure of DSSCs are essential, as is an understanding of their elementary principles. This work discusses the application of different semiconductor constituents designed for effective DSSCs. The main parameters crucial to fabrication of DSSC electrodes in nano-porous semiconductor structures are high surface area and large pore size. Different inorganic semiconductor materials are used to load sensitizer dyes, which absorb a lot of light and induce high photocurrent for efficient DSSCs. The first section of the review covers energy sources, photovoltaics, and the benefits of solar cells in daily life, while the second part includes the various types of semiconductors applied in DSSC applications. The final section provides a brief review of future perspectives for DSSCs and a survey of semiconductor materials proposed for solar cell applications.

半导体作为染料敏化太阳能电池的有效电极
染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSCs)作为一种高性能的光伏器件,近年来受到了广泛的关注。为了实现先进的太阳能发电效率和增加长期功能稳定性,改进DSSCs的配置结构是必不可少的,对其基本原理的理解也是必不可少的。本文讨论了为有效DSSCs设计的不同半导体成分的应用。在纳米多孔半导体结构中制备DSSC电极的关键参数是高表面积和大孔径。利用不同的无机半导体材料负载增感染料,增感染料吸收大量的光并产生高光电流,从而形成高效的DSSCs。回顾的第一部分涵盖能源,光伏和太阳能电池在日常生活中的好处,而第二部分包括在DSSC应用中应用的各种类型的半导体。最后一节简要回顾了DSSCs的未来前景,并对太阳能电池应用中提出的半导体材料进行了调查。

期刊介绍: Topics in Current Chemistry is a journal that presents critical reviews of present and future trends in modern chemical research. It covers all areas of chemical science, including interactions with related disciplines like biology, medicine, physics, and materials science. The articles in this journal are organized into thematic collections, offering a comprehensive perspective on emerging research to non-specialist readers in academia or industry. Each review article focuses on one aspect of the topic and provides a critical survey, placing it in the context of the collection. Selected examples highlight significant developments from the past 5 to 10 years. Instead of providing an exhaustive summary or extensive data, the articles concentrate on methodological thinking. This approach allows non-specialist readers to understand the information fully and presents the potential prospects for future developments.
