Abstract :
This study developed highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by the fabrication with nanostructured thin films. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSSC could be improved by fabricating the titanium dioxide film, anti-reflection film, Ag reflection film and scattering layers. The best efficiency of 6.5% for area of 70.92cm2 was obtained using the fabrication with nanostructured thin film. DSSCs fabricated by the proposed methods are highly efficient and can be produced at low cost.
