Abstract

The effect of binder concentration and dye loading time on theTiO₂/N3 based dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been studied. Photoanodes for DSSCs were fabricated using the commercially purchased TiO₂ P25 (Degussa powder) nanoparticles and N3 dye. Two parameters are studied in this article. Firstly, the binder concentration affects the interconnectivity of TiO₂ nanoparticles. The other parameter studied is dye loading time. When the TiO₂ photoanode is exposed to a prolonged dye adsorption time, significant change is observed in the cell performance. The study correlates the change in open-circuit voltage (V_OC) and short-circuit density (J_SC) as the function of the dye adsorption time and reports the at-rest stability of the best-performing cell. The highest efficiency obtained in this study is 5%. The chronoamperometry study gives the stability of the generated photocurrent and the chronopotentiometry study determines the photovoltage stability of the device during the illumination period.
