TL;DR: In this article, the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) was evaluated for a half-year and the results showed that DSC modules yearly generated 10-20% more electricity than conventional Si cells of the same rated output power.
Journal ArticleDOI
SnS thin film solar cells with Zn1−xMgxO buffer layers
TL;DR: In this paper, the conduction band offset (CBO) of SnS as the light absorbing layer and Zn1−xMgxO as the buffer layer in SnS thin film solar cells was optimized to improve the solar cell conversion efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in long-term stability of dye-sensitized solar cell for outdoor use
TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic stability of the component of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) was improved by using solvent-free ionic liquid electrolyte, and the degradation in the continuous 1 sun light soaking test at 60 °C over 15,000 h was suppressed.
