Abstract

This paper addressed several critical issues that impact the performance of the larger-sized dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We have demonstrated that the photoanode has the significant effect on the performances of DSSCs including the short current, open voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency. Several novel structure designs on the photoanode are proposed to improve the performance of the larger-sized dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
