Efficiency Of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells


Answers

whats the conductive polymers used in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells to get the best efficiency?

Whats the types of conductive polymers known till now which give the best efficiency to the dye sensitized solar cells and also the types of Ru(II) used ?
all what i care about is the high efficiency and stability.
i will be very...


Look up the work of Wayne Campbell at Massey University, New Zealand, who has experimented with a wide variety of organic dyes based on porphyrin, and reported solar cell efficiency of 7% and more.

World's Highest Level Conversion Efficiency over 11.4%; Tanaka Precious Metals ...

Tokyo, Dec 26, 2011 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- Exclusive Sales License Obtained for New Dye to Absorb More Light Developed by National Central University, Taiwan

Tanaka Holdings Co., Ltd. (a company of Tanaka Precious Metals) today announced that Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K., which operates the Tanaka Precious Metals' manufacturing business, will begin exclusively providing the CYC-B11 ruthenium complex dye with a conversion efficiency over 11.4% -one of the world's highest level for dye-sensitized solar cells(*1).

The product is a ruthenium complex dye being used as a light-harvesting material to perform photon-to-current conversion in dye-sensitized solar cells which hailed as the next generation of solar cells. Dye-sensitized solar cells using the product achieve efficiency over 11.4 % for converting light energy into electricity, which is the world's highest level for dye-sensitized solar cells.

Landmark Efficiency Gain For Solar Cell Technology

Tracking advances in solar cell technology, I’ve stumbled across another landmark efficiency gain.

This one, obtained by switching from conventional screen printing to a non-contact aerosol jet printer, has upped efficiencies by 2 percent on thin-film Solar Cells .

Thin-film solar cells (TFSC) are defined as solar cells made by depositing one or more thin layers (nanometers to micrometers) of photovoltaic material on a substrate. These thin-film cells are classed as: amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), polysilicon, dye-sensitized solar cells, or organic (plastic, or polymer) solar cells – the latter three still in development stages.
