A theoretical study on the efficiency of DSSC, based on the contact of sensitive ruthenium dye N719 with TiO2 hetero junction using an electron transfer process
摘要
This work aims to study and calculate the efficiency of ruthenium dye-sensitized Ru(N719)-TiO2 solar cells (DSSCs) based on quantitative theoretical approach to electron transfer in a hetero junction device. The J–V characteristics of Ru(N719)-TiO2 hetero junction-based DSSC were calculated to solve the current density equation using MATLAB software. The energy levels of two materials in Ru(N719)-TiO2 hetero junction device were assumed to be continuous levels for this purpose. Generally, the current and current density increased with increasing coupling constant. The efficiency of Ru(N719)-TiO2 DSSC depends on many parameters. Transition energy, coupling constant and concentration play a critical role in the calculation of current density and fill factor and performance of Ru(N719)-TiO2 DSSC. The results show a maximum efficiency in contacting ruthenium Ru(N719) with TiO2 DSSC appeared at concentration
