Development of Electrode Materials for Porphyrin Based p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

[[abstract]]本研究中，主要是將NiO與CuGaO2這兩種半導體材料分別製作成P型染料敏化太陽能電池，光敏劑則使用以紫質大環為基礎的R1-PE1作為染料，整個研究過程中我們比較了網印塗附與刮刀塗附的差異，也最佳化染料的浸泡時間，最後成功的以刮刀方式製作出NiO為基礎的P型染料敏化太陽能電池，並且從初始效率0.008%透過改變染料的浸泡時間以及塗附漿料的配置比例，將效率提升至0.010%，另外我們也針對CuGaO2做了合成的檢討希望透過數據的整理來找出最佳製作CuGaO2電極的方式。[[abstract]]In this study, we try to manufacture p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) with NiO and CuGaO2 as photocathode. Porphyrin based R1-PE1 dye is used as sensitizer in the solar cell. Two different processes, namely screen-printing and doctor-blade, are investigated for electrode fabrication in DSSC. It is shown that doctor-blade technique is advantageous due to smoother surface formation of the electrode. A high efficiency of 0.008% is achieved for NiO embedded DSSC. The efficiency could be further improved to 0.010% by optimizing dye loading through increasing dye soaking time. According to our best knowledge, this is the best efficiency achieved in R1-PE1 based DSSC with NiO as photocathode. CuGaO2 based DSSC is also investigated and a brief review is presented in this thesis.[[note]]碩
