Abstract

In the present project, monolithic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with a metal-free carbon layer as counter-electrode were developed and a first attempt to scale it up to submodules was carried out. Prior to the development of monolithic DSSCs, sandwich DSSCs with metal-free carbon counter electrode were manufactured as a performance benchmark for the monolithic cells. The results demonstrate that the monolithic DSSCs have a lower efficiency. An advantage is that they are simpler to manufacture. Positive results showed the scale-up of the cells in submodules, which increased the efficiency by 0.3%. Although the efficiency is still low compared to DSSCs with sandwich structure, the scale-up of monolithic DSSC in this work demonstrates an interesting potential for further research.
