Transparent Platinum Counter Electrode Prepared by Polyol Reduction for Bifacial, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Pt catalytic nanoparticles on F-doped SnO<sub>2</sub>/glass substrates were prepared by polyol reduction below 200 &#176;C. The polyol reduction resulted in better transparency of the counter electrode and high power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of the resultant dye-sensitized solar c...

Description
Summary:Pt catalytic nanoparticles on F-doped SnO<sub>2</sub>/glass substrates were prepared by polyol reduction below 200 &#176;C. The polyol reduction resulted in better transparency of the counter electrode and high power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of the resultant dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) compared to conventional thermal reduction. The PCEs of the DSSCs with 5 &#956;m-thick TiO<sub>2</sub> photoanodes were 6.55% and 5.01% under front and back illumination conditions, respectively. The back/front efficiency ratio is very promising for efficient bifacial DSSCs.
