| description | <p>Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are devices to solar energy conversion, which present low production costs and high photoelectrochemical stability. The aim of this study was to investigate the synthesis of TiO<sub>2</sub> by Pechini methodology, using C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>28</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Ti and TiCl<sub>3 </sub>as precursors, and their application in solar cell sensitized by N719 dye. The characterization techniques employed were Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-VIS Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), photochronoamperometry, j-V Curves and EIS plots. The results demonstrated a high crystallinity and surface area to particles obtained with C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>28</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Ti as precursor. The highest photoconversion energy efficiency reached was to TiO<sub>2</sub> using C<sub>12</sub>H<sub>28</sub>O<sub>4</sub>Ti with PCE= 4.17±0.13% with photoelectrochemical parameters of j<sub>sc</sub>= 5.53 ±0.08, V<sub>oc</sub>= 0.78±0.07 FF=0.58±0.05 and less resistive to charge transport with τ<sub>e</sub>= 53 ms.</p><p> </p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v13i2.1446">http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v13i2.1446</a></p><p class="orbitalabstract"> </p> |
