A review of the research and development of dye-sensitized solar cells within the Swedish research program Angstrom Solar Center. A path towards low prodn. cost is the development of a continuous process, which allows the prodn. of solar cells in large vol ...
The effect of internal stresses on the cohesion and adhesion of a thin silicon oxide (SiOx) oxygen-barrier coating, evaporated on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film substrate was studied. Internal stresses were generated during annealing in the temp ...
Force and pressure sensors based on the piezoresistive properties of thick- film resistors have recently found wide application due to their low cost, reliability, and relatively good precision. Achieving high elastic mechanical strains is important to max ...
The prevailing prodn. method for dye-sensitized solar cells is based on the screen-printing technique. To find an alternative method, allowing very high throughput, we have looked into the possibility of developing a continuous prodn. process. A prerequisi ...
A review. Recent work on the charge transport in mesoscopic nanostructured film electrodes is summarized. Results from intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) studies are given, and the ...
The present paper describes a new method for manufg. a nanostructured porous layer of TiO2 on a conducting glass substrate for use in a dye-sensitized photoelectrochem. cell. The method involves deposition of a layer of semiconductor particles onto a condu ...
A method for a binder-free manufg. a nanostructured porous film, e.g. for use in solar cells, comprises the steps of: prepg. a suspension of semi-conducting nanometer-sized particles in a volatile suspending agent , depositing the particle suspension on a ...
We show that a combination of a dye and a nanostructured NiO thin film on a conducting substrate can form a dye-sensitized photocathode that can be an active part in a tandem dye-sensitized solar cell (TDSC). To exptl. demonstrate a dye-sensitized nanostru ...
A review with 20 ref. Ti oxide films were made by reactive DC magnetron sputtering onto elec. conducting glass substrates. The films were dye sensitized with an Ru complex, thereby yielding nanocryst. solar cells. We investigated the microstructure of the ...
The texture of sputter deposited PbTiO3 films could be turned from (100)- to (111)-orientation by adding a few nm thick TiO2 layer onto the textured Pt(111) substrate film. AES, XPS, and XPD measurements showed that such TiO2 films were epitaxially ordered ...
