Abstract
- Bifacial dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a promising solution to reduce the cost of photovoltaic conversion. We present here the experimental realization of bifacial quasi-solid-state DSSC from a TiO 2 photoanode, a semitransparent gel electrolyte, and a Ti grid supported metal selenide (MSe, M = Co, Ni, Ru) counter electrode (CE). In comparison with front efficiency of 4.87% and rear efficiency of 1.19% for Ti grid supported Pt based DSSC, the efficiencies are enhanced to 6.51% and 1.84% on the solar cell with cost-effective Ti grid supported RuSe CE. The preliminary results demonstrate that this architecture is promising in realizing cost-effective bifacial quasi-solid-state DSSCs without sacrificing photovoltaic performances.
