Abstract: For physical structure of TiO₂ films is the core of photoelectric conversion on the photovoltaic performance of DSSC, the method by parameter estimate to determine the optimal thickness of DSSC working electrode is deduced, which is consistent with the analysis of real physical meaning about the TiO₂ layer thickness and the photocurrent, while gives the specific optimal value as an addition. As a mathematical proof of the optimal conclusion extracting from the complex working mechanism of DSSCs and accidental factors, the equivalent circuit parameters of each curve are estimated corresponds to the equivalent circuit method first. According to the inflection point, which obtained through the synthesis of scattered experment points to the trend curve, the optimal thickness of DSSC working electrode are optimal identified.

Abstract: Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is noticed to be proper for BIPV for cheaper, more transparent, and able to realizevarious colored. Researchers constantly strive to improve the power conversion efficiency of DSSCs for this cell’s practicability by doping TiO_{2Subscript text} with inorganic substance, metal ions, or processed with organic, as TiO₂ electrode is the core of DSSC to generate photovoltage effection. Here reported a method to determine the optimal La³⁺ doping proportion of TiO₂ by the equivalent circuit parameters estimated corresponds to the reported experment I-V curve. Thus, the concentration of La³⁺ doped TiO₂ thin films of 0.5% of DSSC can get the most out of the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Abstract: The way to determine the optimal solids content of TiO2 in DSSC working electrode was discussed. As a mathematical proof of the optimal conclusion extracting from the complex working mechanism of DSSCs and accidental factors, the equivalent circuit parameters of each curve are estimated corresponds to the equivalent circuit method first. And then, the trends in each parameter are analyzed. According to these trends, the optimal solids content of TiO2 are optimal identified

Abstract: By analyzing the transmitionce and heat rate of insulating antireflection films conposed by refractive-index adjustable SiO2 layer and TiO2 layers, the optimum combination of antireflection films of BIPV is obtained. The absorption rate at the ultraviolet part that wavelenght excessive inadequate 400nm of the optimized fils is 99.9%, which are directly designed on the surface of the low iron tempered glass panel of BIPV, and in the wavelength range 400nm-800nm, the visible light transmitionce rate is up to 99.5%, and the heat that wavelenght excessive 800nm is reflected of 20%. For the multilayer heat insulation films are composed with the same kind of material while with different refractive indexes, there is no projecting stress between these films and no constraints during the production process of different films for the possible low cost heat insulating of BIPV.

Further more, the influence of TiCl₄ treatment on the substrate of Dye-sensitized solar cell to photo-current voltage performance was numerical analyzed.

Abstract: Many studies reported that dye-sensitized solar cells have more significant capacitance characteristics than the silicon solar cell. In this study, it was found the capacitance characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cell changes with the imposed bias voltage. The bias voltage is indispensable in the standard measurement for the conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell. The influence of changed capacitance during the measurement on the conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells was investigated. The analysis on the EIS spectra and equivalent circuit shows that the capacitance of dye-sensitized solar cells is small and the deviation cell I-V characteristics from the steady-state value is minor when the applied bias is small; while under a condition with a large applied bias, the capacitance characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cell grew rapidly and the I-V characteristics deviated from the steady-state value significantly increased. This phenomenon is helpful for the accurate measurement of the quantum conversion efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells.
