研究了使用复合半导体薄膜对染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSC）的效率和稳定性的影响。开发了四种不同类型的复合 ZnO/TiO2 电池，并用有机分子香豆素 343 (C343) 和玫瑰红 (RB) 进行敏化。对不同的复合电池进行了比较评估，并将单半导体ZnO和TiO2太阳能电池的光伏性能与复合ZnO/TiO2电池的光伏性能进行了比较。研究发现，ZnO/TiO2 比例等于 90/10 的复合电池具有与单半导体电池相当的效率，并且具有更高的稳定性的优点。还研究了使用各种多组分电解质对 ZnO/TiO2 电池效率和稳定性的影响。据观察，这些电解质中使用的材料的综合性能提高了复合 ZnO/TiO2 电池的效率。
The effects of using composite semiconductor films on the efficiency and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were investigated. Four different types of composite ZnO/TiO2 cells were developed and sensitized with the organic molecules Coumarin 343 (C343) and Rose Bengal (RB). A comparative assessment of the different composite cells was conducted, and the photovoltaic performance of single-semiconductor ZnO and TiO2 solar cells was also compared to that of the composite ZnO/TiO2 cells. It was observed that composite cells with ZnO/TiO2 ratio equal to 90/10 have comparable efficiency to single-semiconductor cells and have the advantage of higher stability. The effects of using various multicomponent electrolytes on the efficiency and stability of the ZnO/TiO2 cells were also investigated. It was observed that the combined properties of the materials used in these electrolytes enhance the efficiency of the composite ZnO/TiO2 cells.
