The Photovoltaic Efficiency of the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells at Different Annealing Temperatures

Abstract:

Upconversion NaYF₄:Yb³⁺Er³⁺@TiO₂ are synthesized and used to compose the photoelectrode (PE) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The morphology, structure, photoluminescence characterization of the NaYF₄:Yb³⁺_,Er@TiO₂ and the photoelectric performance, alternating current impedance spectroscopy of DSSCs are characterized using transmission electron microscopy, CHI660C electrochemical analyzer, 720 nm long wave pass filter, the infrared laser light, upconversion spectra. Comparing the output power of the DSSC with upconversion performance at different annealing temperatures, the DSSCs under annealing temperature (330°C) show a better photovoltaic efficiency.
