제목 Pore-size effect in optimizing the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) composed of mesoporous TiO2 photoelectrodes
초록 The mesoporous anatase TiO2 particles are synthesized using a soft template (1) of tri-block copolymer and a hard template (2) of mesoporous ZnO/Zn(OH)2-composite. Both materials produce a high BET surface area of more than 200 m2/g, favorable to a high dye uptake. However, their different pore sizes of 6.8 nm (1) and 3.0 nm (2) lead to different photovoltaic performances of DSSCs. While the TiO2 photoelectrode having larger pores gives a photo-conversion efficiency (η) of 6.71 %, the TiO2 photoelectrode having small pores provides only half the performance (3.05%). For reference, the photo-conversion efficiency is 5.62 % when using P25 TiO2 nanopowders. Mesoporous TiO2 with proper pore size (e.g. 6.8 nm) seems to make the most of its high surface area, thereby allowing a high uptake of dye to enhance the current density. On the other hand, the low efficiency of mesoporous TiO2 with too small pores (e.g. 3 nm) is probably attributed to the low uptake of dye due to the hindered diffusion and adsorption of dye molecule through the pore.
