Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) has been expected to be an alternative to the conventional silicon solar cell due to simple manufacturing process and low fabrication casts. In order to improve productivity of DSC, we attempted to optimize the required time of the adsorption process. According to the change in the adsorption time from 1 to 24h, We analyzed the output characteristics and the change of internal impedance. As a result, The outputs of DSC were continuously increased until 12h of the adsorption time and remained the same after that. Also, We reconfirmed this result that 12h was optimum adsorption by the analysis of the electrochemical impedance spectroscope because the internal impedance was similar to the output.
