Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have aroused intense interest and been regarded as one of the most prospective solar cells, due to low-cost, flexibility, simple device fabrication and high conversion efficiency under weak light, in comparison to the conventional photovoltaic devices. According to PV Installation Market Share’ projection, DSSCs will have been significantly increasing in demand in a near future. Very recently, G2E in Swiss and G24i in UK including Korean and Japan companies have demonstrated commercial and prototyped components based on DSSC technology with liquid electrolytes. However, the unit costs, long-term device stability and power conversion efficiency must be further improved for real-life applications. In this presentation, new strategy on materials paradigm for low-cost, long-term stable, highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells will be described to give right answers in overcoming the limitation of the existing DSSC technology for the practical use. |
