Improving dye-sensitized solar cells photocurrent performance based on titanium dioxide photoanode thickness

The thickness of the photoanode film in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) is a crucial parameter for optimum power conversion efficiency. The thick film can provide a high generation rate of a free electron, and at the same time, the charge recombination of electrons also increases. Therefore, there...
