With the growing demand for clean energy in society, large-scale solar power generation facilities have been extensively deployed. However, solar panels are susceptible to dust accumulation during usage, which can adversely affect their efficiency. Therefore, high-transparency anti-fouling coatings with self-cleaning functionality hold significant value in solar panel applications. The present study employed titanium dioxide as the photoanode and platinum as the counter electrode for fabricating dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) via screen printing. A liquid-like transparent anti-fouling coating was applied onto the FTO glass surface of the photoanode, and its impact on the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of DSSCs was evaluated by comparing pristine, uncoated cells with coated and contaminated ones. The findings revealed that solar cells coated with anti-fouling coatings achieved a photovoltaic conversion efficiency exceeding 90% of that observed on clean, uncoated surfaces, whereas those lacking coatings or featuring polluted surfaces exhibited significantly diminished efficiency. These results offer valuable insights for implementing transparent anti-fouling coatings in the realm of solar cell technology.

摘要

With the growing demand for clean energy in society, large-scale solar power generation facilities have been extensively deployed. However, solar panels are susceptible to dust accumulation during usage, which can adversely affect their efficiency. Therefore, high-transparency anti-fouling coatings with self-cleaning functionality hold significant value in solar panel applications. The present study employed titanium dioxide as the photoanode and platinum as the counter electrode for fabricating dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) via screen printing. A liquid-like transparent anti-fouling coating was applied onto the FTO glass surface of the photoanode, and its impact on the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of DSSCs was evaluated by comparing pristine, uncoated cells with coated and contaminated ones. The findings revealed that solar cells coated with anti-fouling coatings achieved a photovoltaic conversion efficiency exceeding 90% of that observed on clean, uncoated surfaces, whereas those lacking coatings or featuring polluted surfaces exhibited significantly diminished efficiency. These results offer valuable insights for implementing transparent anti-fouling coatings in the realm of solar cell technology.
