Hibiscus Leachate Dye-Based Low-Cost and Flexible Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Prepared by Screen Printing
Although the price of dye-sensitized solar cells is lower than other solar cells, they still contain some high-cost materials, such as transparent conductive substrates, dyes (ruthenium dyes, organic dyes, etc.), and platinum counter electrodes. To solve this problem, a dye-sensitized solar cell bas...

description | Although the price of dye-sensitized solar cells is lower than other solar cells, they still contain some high-cost materials, such as transparent conductive substrates, dyes (ruthenium dyes, organic dyes, etc.), and platinum counter electrodes. To solve this problem, a dye-sensitized solar cell based on hibiscus leaching solution and carbon black–silver electrodes was prepared by screen printing. The prepared low-cost dye-sensitized solar cells were flexible. The open-circuit voltage (V<sub>oc</sub>) of the obtained dye-sensitized solar cell is 0.65 V, the current density (J<sub>sc</sub>) is 90 μA/cm², and the fill factor (FF) is 0.241. |
