摘要
The conductivity of CuI film was greatly increased by the addition of the thiocyanate salts and the photoenergy conversion efficiency of DSSSCs made with this CuI film as a hole transporting material was greatly improved. The optimum amount of SCN salt for the cell performance was 4-5% to CuI, and an excessive addition declined cell performance in spite of conductivity increasing. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
