主 题:Surface-disordered TiO2 Blue TiO2 Dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC) Oxygen vacancy Efficiency
摘 要:Recently,surface-disordered or non-stoichiometric TiO2,such as blue TiO2(B-TiO2),has received much attention owing to its unique properties,such as structural disorder near the surface and the existence of Ti3+ions and oxygen ***,surface-disordered TiO2has been applied for microwave absorption,photocatalysis,in photoelectrochemical sensors and rechargeable lithium-ion *** this work B-TiO2,a polymorph consisting of nanoparticles,nanotubes and nanosheets,was successfully synthesized and employed as a semiconductor layer in dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs)fabricated using a low-temperature heat treatment process(120°C).Based on the analyses of the experimental results regarding the structure and those from the characterization of B-TiO2,and its application to DSSCs,it has been found that the B-TiO2material has an effect on electron-hole pair *** conversion efficiency of the B-TiO2DSSC(BTiO2-DSSC)was 6.18%,whereas that of the TiO2-P25 DSSC(P25-DSSC)was 3.61%,and that of the TiO2polymorph DSSC(PTiO2-DSSC)which is the precursor of B-TiO2was 4.51%.
