Improved performance of D149 dye-sensitized ZnO-based solar cell under solvents activation effect

The various solvents (2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol, 1-propanol, Ethanol and Acetonitrile) effect to improve performance of D149 dye-sensitized ZnO-based solar cells predicted using a quantum mechanical model are investigated. Incorporation of solvents has low transition energies that are found to enhance...
