Enhancing the electron lifetime and diffusion coefficient in dye-sensitized solar cells by patterning the layer of titanium dioxide nanoparticles
In brief
A micro-patterned TiO₂ anode gives dye-sensitized solar cells faster electron transport and less recombination.
Key results- Patterning the nanoparticle layer increases both electron lifetime and diffusion coefficient.
