Influence of Electrode Thickness on the Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

In the present framework, simulation analysis of the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells by means of diffusion model has been made. Dependence of efficiency from both substrate and electrolyte side and other parameters of dye-sensitized solar cells viz. open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor and transport time on thickness of electrode has been reported. The variations in current density voltage (J-V) characteristics with change in electrode thickness have been predicted. The optimum thickness providing highest efficiency has been estimated to be 15 PM.
