Dye-sensitised solid-state photovoltaic cells
TLDR
In this paper, a thin layer of dye sandwiched between p-CuCNS deposited on a copper substrate and n-SnO2 coated transparent glass was found to yield photocurrents resulting from light absorption in the dye.Abstract:
A thin layer of dye sandwiched between p-CuCNS deposited on a copper substrate and n-SnO2 coated transparent glass was found to yield photocurrents resulting from light absorption in the dye. The mechanism of photocurrent generation is discussed.read more
