Luminescent Down Shifting of the Incident Spectrum to Enhance the Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Taghavinia , Nima (Supervisor) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Luminescence down shifting (LDS) of the incident spectrum is a practical strategy that helps to increase the light harvesting efficiency by manipulating the incident spectrum instead of interfering with the active material inside the cell. In this research, for a dye-sensitized solar cell with a near-infrared sensitizer, the photovoltaic performance was enhanced remarkably with a reflective luminescent down-shifting (R-LDS) layer. Different inorganic phosphors with different luminescent quantum efficiencies have been used as the down shifting materials to increase the light-harvesting efficiency of DSSCs sensitized with TT1 and SQ1 dyes. Four different structures were examined to find the...
