Voltage- and Power-Conversion Performance of Bi-functional ZrO : Er / Yb Assisted and Co-sensitized Dye Sensitized Solar Cells for Internet of Things Applications.

Giant power conversion efficiency is achieved by using bifunction ZrO  : Er /Yb assisted co-sensitised dye-sensitized solar cells. The evolution of the crystalline structure and its microstructure are examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy studies. The bi-functional behaviour of ZrO  : Er /Yb as upconversion, light scattering is confirmed by emission and diffused reflectance studies.

Enhanced Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) Based on MoS /Single-Walled Carbon Nanohorns Electrochemically Deposited on Bilayer Counter Electrodes.

High-performance bilayer counter electrodes (BCEs) for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications are gaining considerable attention. In this study, MoS /single-walled carbon nanohorn (SWCNHs) BCEs were fabricated by ultrasonic-spray-assisted electrochemical deposition. The BCEs exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity, confirmed through CV, Tafel plots, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic studies.
