Data‐driven materials discovery has become increasingly important in identifying materials that exhibit specific, desirable properties from a vast chemical search space. Synergic prediction and experimental validation are needed to accelerate scientific advances related to critical societal applications. A design‐to‐device study that uses high‐throughput screens with algorithmic encodings of structure–property relationships is reported to identify new materials with panchromatic optical absorption, whose photovoltaic device applications are then experimentally verified. The data‐mining methods source 9431 dye candidates, which are auto‐generated from the literature using a custom text‐mining tool. These candidates are sifted via a data‐mining workflow that is tailored to identify optimal combinations of organic dyes that have complementary optical absorption properties such that they can harvest all available sunlight when acting as co‐sensitizers for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Six promising dye combinations are shortlisted for device testing, whereupon one dye combination yields co‐sensitized DSSCs with power conversion efficiencies comparable to those of the high‐performance, organometallic dye, N719. These results demonstrate how data‐driven molecular engineering can accelerate materials discovery for panchromatic photovoltaic or other applications. 相似文献

In this study, the effect of plasmonic core‐shell structures, consisting of dielectric cores and metallic nanoshells, on energy conversion in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is investigated. The structure of the core‐shell particles is controlled to couple with visible light so that the visible component of the solar spectrum is amplified near the core‐shell particles. In core‐shell particle – TiO2 nanoparticle films, the local field intensity and light pathways are increased due to the surface plasmons and light scattering. This, in turn, enlarges the optical cross‐section of dye sensitizers coated onto the mixed films. When 22 vol% of core‐shell particles are added to a 5 μm thick TiO2 film, the energy conversion efficiency of DSSCs increases from 2.7% to 4.0%, in spite of a more than 20% decrease in the amount of dyes adsorbed on the composite films. The correlation between core‐shell particle content and energy conversion efficiency in DSSCs is explained by the balance among near‐field effects, light scattering efficiency, and surface area in the composite films. 相似文献

Nickel oxide based p‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are limited in their efficiencies by poor fill factors (FFs). This work explores the origins of this limitation. Transient absorption spectroscopy identifies fast recombination between the injected hole and the dye anion under applied load as one of the predominant reasons for the poor FF of NiO‐based DSCs. A reduced hole injection efficiency, ηINJ, under applied load is found to play an equally important role. Both, the dye regeneration yield, ΦREG, and ηINJ decrease by approximately 40%–50% when moving from short‐ to open‐circuit conditions. Spectroelectrochemical measurements reveal that the electrochromic properties of NiO are a further limiting factor for the device performance leading to variable light‐harvesting efficiencies, ηLH, under applied load. The peak light‐harvesting efficiency decreases from 63% at short circuit to 57% at 600 mV reducing the FF of NiO DSCs by 5%. This effect is expected to be more pronounced for future devices with higher operating voltages. Incident, photon‐to‐electron conversion efficiency front–back analysis at applied bias is utilized to characterize the interfacial charge recombination. It is found that the recombination between the injected hole and the redox mediator has a surprisingly small effect on the FF. 相似文献

The solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was introduced to overcome inherent manufacturing and instability issues of the electrolyte‐based DSSC and progress has been made to deliver high photovoltaic efficiencies at low cost. However, despite 15 years research and development, there still remains no clear demonstration of long‐term stability. Here, solid‐state DSSCs are subjected to the severe aging conditions of continuous illumination at an elevated temperature. A fast deterioration in performance is observed for devices encapsulated in the absence of oxygen. The photovoltaic performance recovers when re‐exposed to air. This reversible behavior is attributed to three related processes: i) the creation of light and oxygen sensitive electronic shunting paths between TiO2 and the top metal electrode, ii) increased recombination at the TiO2/organic interface, and iii) the creation of deep electron traps that reduce the photocurrent. The device deterioration is remedied by the formation of an insulating alumino‐silicate shell around the TiO2 nanocrystals, which reduces interfacial recombination, and the introduction of an insulating mesoporous SiO2 buffer layer between the top electrode and TiO2, which acts as a permanent insulating barrier between the TiO2 and the metal electrode, preventing shunting. 相似文献

Next‐generation organic solar cells such as dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are studied at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and their materials, electronic properties, and fabrication processes are investigated. To enhance the performance of DSSCs, the basic structure of an electron donor, π‐electron linker, and electron acceptor, i.e., D–π–A, is suggested. In addition, special organic dyes containing coumarin, carbazole, and triphenylamine electron donor groups are synthesized to find an effective dye structure that avoids charge recombination at electrode surfaces. Meanwhile, PSCs are manufactured using both a coating method and a laser deposition technique. The results of interfacial studies demonstrate that the level of the conduction band edge (CBE) of a compact TiO2 layer is shifted after TiCl4 treatment, which strongly affects the solar cell performance. Furthermore, a special laser deposition system is developed for the fabrication of the perovskite layers of PSCs, which facilitates the control over the deposition rate of methyl ammonium iodide used as their precursor. 相似文献

Strong electron‐donating functionality is desirable for many organic donor‐π‐bridge‐acceptor (D‐π‐A) dyes. Strategies for increasing the electron‐donating strength of common nitrogen‐based donors include planarization of nitrogen substituents and the use of low resonance‐stabilized energy aromatic ring‐substituted nitrogen atoms. Organic donor motifs based on the planar nitrogen containing heterocycle indolizine are synthesized and incorporated into dye‐sensitized solar cell (DSC) sensitizers. Resonance active substitutions at several positions on indolizine in conjugation with the D‐π‐A π‐system are examined computationally and experimentally. The indolizine‐based donors are observed to contribute electron density with strengths greater than triarylamines and diarylamines, as evidenced by UV/Vis, IR absorptions, and oxidation potential measurements. Fluorescence lifetime studies in solution and on TiO2 yield insights in understanding the performance of indolizine‐based dyes in DSC devices. 相似文献

In this work, a new strategy to design low‐temperature (≤200 °C) sintered dye‐sensitized solar cells (lt‐DSSC) is reported to enhance charge collection efficiencies (ηcoll), photoconversion efficiencies (η), and stabilities under continuous operation conditions. Realization of lt‐DSSC is enabled by the integration of hybrid nanoparticles based on TiO2‐Ru(II) complex (TiO2_Ru_IS)—obtained by in situ bottom‐up construction of Ru(II) N3 dye‐sensitized titania—into the photoelectrode. Incentives for the use of TiO2_Ru_IS are i) dye stability due to its integration into the TiO2 anatase network and ii) enhanced charge collection yield due to its significant resistance toward electron recombination with electrolytes. It is demonstrated that devices with single‐layer photoelectrodes featuring blends of P25 and TiO2_Ru_IS give rise to a 60% ηcoll relative to a 46% ηcoll for devices with P25‐based photoelectrodes. Responsible for this trend is a better charge transport and a reduced electron recombination. When using a multilayered photoelectrode architecture with a top layer based only on TiO2_Ru_IS, devices with an even higher ηcoll (74%) featuring a η of around 8.75% and stabilities of 600 h are achieved. This represents the highest values reported for lt‐DSSC to date. 相似文献

Nanocrystallite aggregates are spherical assemblies of nanometer‐sized crystallites and feature a size on the order of sub‐micrometers. This paper reports and summarizes recent progress in nanocrystallite aggregates for applications in dye‐sensitized solar cells. It emphasizes that nanocrystallite aggregates are a promising class of materials with the capability to generate light scattering, enhance electron transport, retain high specific surface area for dye adsorption, and facilitate electrolyte diffusion while serving as the photoelectrode film of a dye‐sensitized solar cell. In the Perspectives section, it is suggested that optimization of the porosity of the aggregates, the facets of nanocrystallites forming the aggregates, and the structure of photoelectrode film could possibly lead to breakthroughs in improving the power conversion efficiency of the current state‐of‐the‐art dye‐sensitized solar cells. 相似文献

Two novel double‐alkyl functionalized imidazolium ionic liquid crystals have successfully been utilized to demonstrate the benefits of the liquid crystalline phase on the ssDSSC performance. In particular, a good balance between dye regeneration and hole transport is only realized in the liquid crystalline phase. Devices that employ a single component ionic liquid based electrolyte show a remarkably stable efficiency during 1000 h under outdoor operation temperature conditions and 1 sun illumination. 相似文献

Dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have attracted great interest as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies, and transparent DSCs show potential applications as photovoltaic windows. However, the competition between light absorption for photocurrent generation and light transmittance for obtaining high transparency limits the performance of transparent DSCs. Here, transparent DSCs exhibiting a high light transmittance of 60.3% and high energy conversion efficiency (3.66%) are reported. The strategy is to create a cocktail system composed of ultraviolet and near‐infrared dye sensitizers that selectively and efficiently harvest light in the invisible or low‐eye‐sensitivity region while transmitting light in high‐eye‐sensitivity regions. This new design provides a reasonable approach for realizing high efficiency and transparency DSCs that have potential applications as photovoltaic windows. 相似文献

A nanopatterning technique using nanostamps that provides a facile process to create a nature‐inspired moth‐eye structure achieving high transmittance in the visible range as well as a self‐cleaning effect is reported. Commercially available perfluoropolyether (PFPE) and NOA63 as the mold resin and second replica mold material, respectively, play an important role in fabricating the structure. The structure is found to increase transmittance up to 82% at 540 nm and contact angle up to 150°, representing superhydrophobicity even without the aid of a fluorinated self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) coating. The resulting solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs) with moth‐eye structures show enhancement of efficiency to 7.3% at 100 mW cm?2, which is among the highest values reported to date for N719 dye‐based ssDSSCs. This nature‐inspired nanopatterning process could be used for improving light harvesting in any type of photovoltaic cell, and it produces superhydrophobic surfaces, which in turn lead to self‐cleaning for long‐term stability. 相似文献
