Quintuple‐Shelled SnO 2 Hollow Microspheres with Superior Light Scattering for High‐Performance Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Quintuple-shelled SnO2 hollow microspheres are prepared by a hard-template method. DSSCs constructed with SnO2 multi-shell photoanodes show a record photoconversion efficiency of 7.18% due to enhanced light scattering. SnO2 hollow microspheres that are utilized as a scattering layer on top of P25 films increase the DSSC photoconversion efficiency from 7.29% to 9.53%.
