基于宽带隙p型半导体敏化的染料敏化太阳能电池是一种新兴的新一代太阳能电池技术。p-DSC与经典的Gratzel细胞有一些相似之处，但也存在一些重要的差异。在此，我们的目的是审查最重要的和最近的发展，已完成的p-DSCs。我们分析了最近报道的提高p-DSSC效率的新策略和材料。对于每个组件，p-SC，染料和氧化还原对，我们讨论了高效能量转换的要求，并分析了改进的机会和具体的替代解决方案。本文提供了一个潜在的富有成效的研究方向，以克服在这一领域的剩余挑战的角度。
The dye-sensitized solar cell, based on the sensitization of a wide-band-gap p-type semiconductor (p-DSC), is an emerging and new generation of solar cell technology. p-DSCs share some similarities but also present some important differences with classical Gratzel cells. Herein, we aim at reviewing the most important and recent developments that have been accomplished in p-DSCs. We analyze the new strategies and the materials recently reported to improve p-DSSC efficiency. For each component, p-SC, dye, and redox couple, we discuss the requirements for efficient energy conversion and analyze the opportunities for improvement and specific alternative solutions. This article provides a perspective on potentially fruitful research directions to overcome remaining challenges in this area.
