...Edwin Peng; Halil Berberoğlu Performance characteristics of an acetonitrile electrolyte based dye-sensitized solar cell were measured experimentally as functions of temperature (from 5 to 50 °C) and irradiance (from 500 to 1500 W m −2 ). The results indicated two thermal regimes of operation...

...R. Schroeder; L. Matthews; D. Leatzow; J. Kondratko; J. Will; S. Duncan; W. Sheline; N. Lindeke; R. Palumbo; Pedro Neves The solar thermal electrolytic production of Zn from ZnO was studied in the temperature range of 1275–1500 K in a cavity-solar receiver located at the focal point...

...Meng-Cheng Tsui; Yung-Liang Tung; Song-Yeu Tsai; Chung-Wen Lan The gel electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been reported recently. Such electrolytes have their own liquid electrolyte properties and a quasi-solid electrolyte morphology. In this paper, nano-clay was chosen...

...Takayuki Kitamura; Kenichi Okada; Hiroshi Matsui; Nobuo Tanabe It was investigated that the intrusion of water into the electrolyte was the most critical reason for the low stability of a dye-sensitized solar cell. To prevent the water intrusion, robust solar cells and submodules with a novel...

... mV to 776 mV by about 26% with 1-methyl-3-butyl imidazolium iodide (BMII) based electrolyte and from 428 mV to 513 mV by 20% with lithium iodide (LiI) based electrolyte as the cell gap increased from 16 μ m to 224 μ m . From the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it was found that the resistance...

... Hz was impressed on a system containing the electrolytes. The system’s frequency response was used to establish the conductivities. The influence of these conductivities on the potential of a solar thermal electrolytic process was evaluated using two process performance parameters: the back-work...
