나노사이즈의 귀금속을 $TiO_2$ 매트릭스에 균질하게 분산 시킨 구조는 염료감응형 태양전지의 유망한 광전극 특성을 나타내는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이와 같은 금 및 백금 나노미립자를 균질하게 분산된 구조의 광전극을 제작하기 위하여 석영 및 ITO 기판위에 동시스퍼터법에 의하여 박막을 합성 하였다. XRD분석을 통하여 상분석을 수행 한 결과 합성된 나노컴포지트는 Rutile상이 지배적인 결정 구조를 나타냈으며 열처리를 $600^{\circ}C$까지 진행함에 따라 $TiO_2$ 결정성의 향상 및 귀금속인 금 및 백금의 나노미립자가 증가 하는 결과를 나타내었다. 귀금속인 금 및 백금이 분산된 $TiO_2$ 광전극에서는 자외선(UV) 영역을 포함하여 가시광(VIS) 영역의 빛의 조사에 광전류 응답 특성을 발현 하였다. 가시광선 영역에서 발현된 광전류 응답 특성은 나노사이즈로 분산된 금 및 백금 금속과 $TiO_2$와의 계면 준위에 기인 한 것으로 판명 되었다.

In this study, the W-interconnected dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) modules composed of a number of rectangular cells connected in series were investigated, where neighboring cells are processed in reverse. The DSSC modules, a module of dimension about 200 mm ${\times}$ 200 mm, were fabricated with different working electrode width ranging from 5 mm to 21 mm. The short-circuit current of the module increased as the working electrode width increased. Whereas, the decrease in the working electrode width resulted in the increase of the conversion energy efficiency, fill factor, and open-circuit voltage, which is explained by the fact that the possibility that electrons are recombined along their path on the transparent conductive oxide substrate decreases. The module with the conversion energy efficiency of 3.59% was obtained with the working electrode width of 5 mm.

We were studied that AZO conductive thin film can substitute for FTO electrode in dye sensitized solar cell. Three types of AZO films were deposited on soda-lime glass(AZO/glass, AZO/AZO/glass, textured AZO/AZO/glass) using RF magnetron sputtering process and investigated their properties of electrical, optical, and photoelectric conversion rate. The textured AZO/AZO/glass has the lowest resistivity of $3.079{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}cm$ among other films. And the optical transmittance rate was better than both non textured AZO/AZO/glass and FTO/glass in the visible region. After manufacturing dye solar cells using the three types of AZO films, the textured AZO/AZO/glass showed the highest photoelectric conversion rate of 3.68% among AZO samples. But the transformation rate was slightly lower than FTO cells (4.52%). However, the conductive film of textured AZO/AZO/glass can be applicable to use an electrode in solar cells as cost-effective products.

To elucidate possible challenges for outdoor practical use of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSC), compared with conventional Si solar cells. DSC modules still need the larger area than conventional Si solar modules to attain the same rated output because of lower photoelectron-chemical conversion efficiency. However, using batteries backup systems, the measured data shows that DSCs gathered over 12% more electricity than Si solar cells of the same rated output power in same outdoor condition. Moreover, battery charging time of DSC is about 1 hour faster than same rate of Si solar module. In this paper, 12 single DSC cells prepared for 4 serialized DSC cells was connected in 3 row parallel which have same output power rate of Si solar module. This DSC module was practiced generating characteristic experiment over outdoor daylight condition and applied with PV battery charger by using DC-DC converter. The main advantages of DSC module battery charger as compared with conventional Si solar module one are shorter charge time and lower cost.

In this thesis, we studied to increased to solar conversion efficiency of DSSC (dye-sensitized solar cell) using nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ semiconductor. We are preparation of $TiO_2$ photoelectrode, assembly the DSSC and put a focus in analyses electrochemical properties of DSSC and using Silica powder in $TiO_2$ photoelectrode for increase light scattering effect and improved conversion efficiency. It attempt to investigate the morphology of the photoelectrode and photovoltaic effects using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and photovoltaic properties under illumination with AM 1.5 simulated sunlight. We got 146 % enhanced power conversion efficiency when the optimal content of quartz glass powder was 5 wt.% than that another content.

The hybrid structured photo-electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells was fabricated based on the composites of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and nanowires. Three samples with different hybrid structures were prepared with 17 vol%, 43 vol%, and 100 vol% nanowires. The energy conversion efficiency was enhanced from 5.54% for pure nanoparticle cells to 6.01% for the hybrid structure with 17 vol% nanowires. For the hybrid structured layers with high nanowires concentration (43 vol% and 100 vol%), the efficiency decreased with the nanowire concentration, because of the decrease of specific surface area, and of thus decreased current density. The random orientations of $TiO_2$ nanowires can be preserved by the doctor blade process, resulted in the enhanced efficiency. The hybrid structured $TiO_2$ layer can possess the advantages of the high surface area of nanoparticles and the rapid electron transport rate and the light scattering effect of nanowires.

DSSC의 광전 효율 증대와 Pt 상대전극의 접착성 향상을 위하여 FTO (Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide) 유리면에 Ni underlayer를 전기 도금 후 Pt 층을 전기 도금하였다. Ni underlayer는 $10mA/cm^2$에서 2 min 동안 도금한 경우 Ni 층과 FTO 면사이의 접착성이 가장 우수하게 나타났으며, Ni underlayer를 $10mA/cm^2$에서 2 min, Pt 층을 $5mA/cm^2$에서 1 min 동안 전기 도금한 상대전극의 XRD 분석 결과 Ni 및 Pt의 금속 회절 peak들을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 제조한 상대전극을 사용하여 DSSC의 impedance 측정 결과 75 ohm의 가장 낮은 저항을 나타냈으며, 광전 효율은 5.6%로서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다.

The $TiO_2$ Pastes was prepared with the starting materials of $TiO_2$ (P-25), ethyl cellulose, a-terpineol and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and this $TiO_2$ paste application for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were investigated. In order to improved transparency of $TiO_2$ photoanode films, $TiO_2$ paste was changed ethyl cellulose and a-terpineol contents. The morphology of prepared $TiO_2$ films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The electrochemical properties of the thin films and the performance of DSSCs were measured by photovoltaic-current density and AC impedance. Energy conversion efficiency was obtained about 5.7% at ethyl cellulose and a-terpineol on best mixed ratio under illumination with AM 1.5 ($100mWcm^{-2}$)simulated sunlight.

기존 DSSC의 상대전극을 TCO-less로 하여 도전성과 촉매기능을 동시에 가지고 있는 Pd의 안정성 확인을 위해 열증착기를 채용하여 유리기판 전면에 Pd를 90nm 두께로 증착하고 전해질과의 반응 안정성을 확인하였다. $0.45cm^2$급 면적을 가진 glass/FTO/blocking layer/$TiO_2$/dye/electrolyte(10 mM LiI + 1 mM $I_2$ + 0.1 M $LiClO_4$ in acetonitrile solution)/Pd/glass 구조의 DSSC 소자를 만들고, 시편제작 1시간, 12시간 후의 변화를 육안분석, 광학현미경과 FESEM을 이용하여 미세구조 분석을 진행하고, 전기적 분석은 각각 C-V(cyclic voltammetry measurements), I-V(current voltage) 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 미세구조 분석을 통하여 시간이 지남에 따라 확연히 Pd과 전해질이 반응하여 부식되는 것을 확인하였고, 전기적으로도 시간이 지남에 따라 촉매활동도와 효율이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종 효율은 1시간 후에는 0.34%의 광전효율을 보였으나 12시간 후에는 0.15%를 나타내어 약 44%로 감소하였다. 따라서 염료감응태양전지에 Pd촉매를 채용하기 위해 $I^-/I_3{^-}$ 전해질이 아닌 다른 전해질을 사용하거나 Pd 전극이 아닌 다른 촉매재를 사용해야 함을 확인하였다.
