CO-SENSITIZATION IN DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS: A PATHWAY TO ENHANCED EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Keywords:
Dyes Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), Sensitizers and co-sensitizers, Metal sensitizers and metal-free sensitizers.Abstract
The global pursuit of sustainable energy solutions has intensified, particularly in the face of energy crises and environmental concerns. Dyes Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) have emerged as promising candidates, embodying eco-friendly technology. That review with 107 references, delves into the advancements made in enhancing the efficiency of DSSCs, focusing on the innovative approach of co-sensitization.
In the quest for improved performance, researchers have explored a plethora of metal complex sensitizers and metal-free sensitizers. While metal sensitizers exhibit superior efficiency, challenges such as cost and availability impede their widespread adoption. On the other hand, organic sensitizers, though cost-effective, grapple with efficiency limitations.
The review underscores co-sensitization as a transformative strategy, showcasing its potential to address existing shortcomings. By combining multiple sensitizers, co-sensitization facilitates efficient electron injection through precise energy alignment and molecular matching with sensitizers. The presence of co-sensitizers on the Titania surface creates a conducive environment, retarding electron recombination.
One notable advantage of co-sensitization was its ability to compensate for the absorption range deficiency inherent in individual sensitizer. The combinatorial loading of sensitizers not only extends the absorption spectrum but also ensures favorable spectral responses. That holistic approach positively impacts crucial photovoltaic properties such as current density, photovoltage, and fill factor.
The comprehensive exploration of co-sensitization in that review sheds light on its role as an innovative and emergent strategy in the field of DSSCs. The synergistic effects achieved through co-sensitization hold the key to overcoming the efficiency challenges posed by individual sensitizers. Ultimately, the enhanced efficiency achieved through co-sensitization positions DSSCs as viable and competitive contenders in the ongoing efforts to address energy crises while maintaining environmental sustainability.
