Dye-sensitized solar cells：Atomic scale investigation of interface structure and dynamics

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/8/086801

摘要/Abstract

摘要： Recent progress in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) research is reviewed, focusing on atomic-scale investigations of the interface electronic structures and dynamical processes, including the structure of dye adsorption onto TiO₂, ultrafast electron injection, hot-electron injection, multiple-exciton generation, and electron-hole recombination. Advanced experimental techniques and theoretical approaches are briefly summarized, and then progressive achievements in photovoltaic device optimization based on insights from atomic scale investigations are introduced. Finally, some challenges and opportunities for further improvement of dye solar cells are presented.
