How do you optimize the dye loading and injection efficiency in DSSCs?
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a type of photovoltaic device that convert light into electricity using organic dyes and nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) electrodes. They are attractive for their low cost, environmental friendliness, and easy fabrication. However, to achieve high efficiency and stability, they require careful optimization of two key factors: dye loading and injection efficiency. In this article, we will explain what these factors are, why they are important, and how you can optimize them using different methods and materials.
