摘要
Presented is a dye sensitised solar cell (DSSC) with very high open circuit voltage (V-oc) and shunt resistance (R-SH) using an RF- sputtered titanium dioxide compact layer. TiO2 films of about 100 nm thickness were RF- sputtered at room temperature on indium-tin-oxide coated glass substrates and used as the compact layer for fabrication of DSSCs. Current-voltage characteristics of the DSSCs under AM 1.5 illumination condition showed a very high V-OC of 780 mV, high RSH of 400 K Omega, short circuit current density (J(sc)) of 12.3 mA/cm(2), and fill factor (FF) of 0.61, while the V-OC, R-SH, J(SC), and FF of a DSSC fabricated using a conventional sol-gel processed TiO2 compact layer were 520 mV, 463 Omega, 5.4 mA/cm(2), and 0.46, respectively.
