Abstract

Since invented for the first time, researchers in the world were focusing on how to increase the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and reduce of the fabrication cost. Monolithic type of DSSC is one of the best solutions to reduce the fabrication cost due to the elimination of one of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) substrate. In this study, DSSC monolithic was fabricated layer by layer by using screen printing method. There are three layers that printed in each cell namely TiO2, ZrO2, and carbon before being injected with electrolytes. The geometrical structure of DSSC was varied to find the highest performance. From the I-V characteristics and incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) characterization shows the highest efficiency is 0.137% and the highest conversion of photons to current occurs at around 510 nm wavelength, for a structure which has ZrO­2 layer not crosses over the no-FTO area, while TiO2 layer half crosses the no-FTO area, this is most likely caused by the imperfection of the ZrO2layer.

Abstract

Monolithic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) offer the prospect of lower material cost and require a simpler manufacturing process compared with conventional DSSC. Fabricated on a single fluorine tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate consists of a nanoporous TiO2 photoanode layer, a ZrO2 spacer layer, a carbon counter electrode layer, a dye, and an electrolyte. The spacer layer on the monolithic DSSC serves as electrolyte storage and insulating layer to separate between photoanode and counter electrode. Zirconia is often used as a spacer because it has high temperature resistant properties, high dielectric constant and adhesive as an insulator that has band gap between 5-6 eV. The effects of the thermal treatment of zirconia layer as a spacer electrolyte on the performance of monolithic DSSC have been investigated. The cell’s performance increases with the sintering temperature as well as indicated by the decreased in particle size and increased in quantum efficiency in the absorption region of the titania layer. Co-sintering treatment tends to drastically reduce cell’s performance. The highest performance was obtained at a temperature sintering of 500o C with an PCE of 0.22%, Isc = 0.16 mA and Voc = 0.71 V.
