The ISC from 1.142 mA to 0.225 mA, the VOC from 0.551 V to 0.412 V, the ?ll factor from 0.52 to 0.63, and Pmax from 58 lW to 327 lW were obtained from the DSC sensitized with natural dye extends. In the move outs of natural fruit, leaves and ?ower chosen, the inkiness rice extract performed the beat photosensitized e?ect, which was due to the better fundamental interaction between the carbonylic and hydroxyl groups of anthocyanin molecule on black rice extract and the surface of TiO2 poriferous ?lm. The blue-shift of dousing wavelength of the black rice extract in ethanol solution on TiO2 ?lm and the blue-shift phenomenon from absorption spectrum to photoaction spectrum of DSC sensitized with black rice extract are discussed in the paper. Because of the simple preparation technique, widely usable and low specious cost natural dye as an alternative sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cell is promising. Ã" 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cell (DSC) has start an attractive and low-cost device for the conversion of solar twinkle into electrical goose egg since Gratzel and OÕRegan ¨ ?rstly reported the prototype of this solar cell in 1991 (O! ÕRegan and Gratzel, 1991). DSC is...If you want to get a rise essay, order it on our website: OrderCustomPaper.com
