Journal ArticleDOI

The renaissance of dye-sensitized solar cells

Brian E. Hardin, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: O'Regan and Gratzel demonstrated that a film of titania nanoparticles deposited on a DSC would act as a mesoporous n-type photoanode and thereby increase the available surface area for dye attachment by a factor of more than a thousand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymer-based solar cells

Alex C. Mayer, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss polymer-based solar cells, paying particular attention to device design and potential improvements, and propose a solution-to-roll approach to solve the problem of low exciton diffusion lengths and low mobilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased light harvesting in dye-sensitized solar cells with energy relay dyes

Brian E. Hardin, +10 more
- 01 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new dye-sensitized solar cell architecture was proposed where high-energy photons are absorbed by highly photoluminescent chromophores unattached to the titania and undergo Forster resonant energy transfer to the sensitizing dye.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photon-enhanced thermionic emission for solar concentrator systems

Jared Schwede, +21 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PHE) was proposed for photovoltaic cells, which combines electric as well as thermal conversion mechanisms, leading to enhanced conversion efficiencies that potentially could even exceed the theoretical limits of conventional PV cells.
Journal Article

Photon Enhanced Thermionic Emission for Solar Concentrator Systems

Jared Schwede, +6 more
- 18 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Temperature-dependent photoemission-yield measurements from GaN show strong evidence for photon-enhanced thermionic emission, and calculated efficiencies for idealized devices can exceed the theoretical limits of single-junction photovoltaic cells.
