Performance of flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (FDSSC) using flexible substrate at different angles under back-illumination configurations

This research presents the development of a flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (FDSSC) based on titanium (Ti) foil as the photoanode and indium tin oxide-coated polyethylene terephthalate (ITO-PET) as the counter electrode (CE). The FDSSC was fabricated using the doctor blade method with excellent f...
