Understanding the charge transport mechanism in natural dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) remains a challenge to achieving high efficiency. This work investigates the charge transport mechanism in β-carotene DSSCs cosensitized with MAPbI3 perovskites (P) according to experimental results validated by mathematical models. Photoanode heterostructures [ETL/P/HTL] were characterized via Raman and SEM for checking (i) layers deposition, and (ii) dye uniformity. Cosensitization yielded minimum voltage loss (built-in potential) at the ITO/TiO2 junction, probably due to: (i) increased likelihood of absorbing more VIS photons, (ii) upward shifting of TiO2 Fermi level, and (iii) reduction in the photoinduced electrostatic potential barrier, ϕSBH. Rather than voltage loss from charge transport across a Schottky barrier, perovskites prevent back-electrons facilitated by exciton generation, electron injection, and quantum tunneling. Perovskite-integrated photoanodes displayed notably high Voc (>0.65 V). This research shows the potential of perovskites/carotenoids light harvesters for naturally-sensitized solar cells.

天然染料敏化太阳能电池中TiO2/MAPbI3/β-胡萝卜素异质结构的电荷传输机制研究

了解天然染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSC)中的电荷传输机制仍然是实现高效率的挑战。这项工作研究了电荷传输机制β根据数学模型验证的实验结果,β-胡萝卜素 DSSC 与 MAPbI 3钙钛矿 (P) 共敏。通过拉曼和 SEM对光电阳极异质结构 [ETL/P/HTL] 进行表征,以检查 (i) 层沉积和 (ii) 染料均匀性。共敏化在 ITO/TiO 2结处产生最小的电压损失(内置电势),可能是由于:(i) 吸收更多可见光光子的可能性增加,(ii) TiO 2费米能级向上移动,以及 (iii) 减少在光致静电势垒中,φSBH。钙钛矿不是通过肖特基势垒的电荷传输造成电压损失,而是防止激子产生、电子注入和量子隧道促进的反电子。钙钛矿集成光电阳极表现出显着高的 V oc (>0.65 V)。这项研究展示了钙钛矿/类胡萝卜素光收集器在自然敏化太阳能电池中的潜力。
