Nanoscale metal oxide–carbon-based materials heterostructure as photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cells: a review
摘要
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current work on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing a metal oxide/nanostructure carbonaceous material (MO/NCM) heterostructure as its photoanode. The MO/NCM heterostructure was prepared using various techniques, namely, physical and chemical methods. The preparation technique, its properties, and the manner in which the MO/NCM heterostructure produces efficient DSSC have been reviewed. Finally, particular attention is given to recent advances in photoanodes with MO/NCM heterostructures.
