Working Electrodes and Solid State Monolithic Devices of Dye Sensitised Solar Cells
Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSC) are emerging thin film photovoltaic devices, offering the prospect of lower production cost compared with conventional silicon based solar cells. Dye sensitized solar cells are constructed with a thin film of semiconductor electrode, a dye and an electrolyte. Optimization of these components holds a key for achieving high efficiency of DSSC. The research team on dye sensitised solar cells at Monash University, Australia consists of four professors and over ten research fellows and postgraduate students. The research has been well funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the State Government of Victoria. A wide range of research areas are covered, including developments of devices, working electrodes, electrolytes and dyes. This presentation will give an introduction on the principles of dye sensitized solar cells and the role of each component in the photovoltaic device. It will then focus on the development of core-shell working electrodes and solid state monolithic devices.
