Thermoelectric Bi2Te3-improved charge collection for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells

A new dye-sensitized solar cell based on a thermoelectric Bi2Te3/ TiO2 composite anode is demonstrated, in which the incorporated Bi2Te3 nanoplates function as built-in nanoscale electron generators to convert ‘‘waste heat’’ to electricity and as a good photoreaction catalyst to enhance the char...

Description
Summary:A new dye-sensitized solar cell based on a thermoelectric Bi2Te3/ TiO2 composite anode is demonstrated, in which the incorporated Bi2Te3 nanoplates function as built-in nanoscale electron generators to convert ‘‘waste heat’’ to electricity and as a good photoreaction catalyst to enhance the charge transfer rate, resulting in 28% improvement of the overall power conversion efficiency.
