Abstract:
The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices using polymer electrolytes based on electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers were fabricated and investigated the photovoltaic performances. The electrospun PVDF-HFP nanofibers were prepared by various
parameters such as; polymer concentrations, applied voltages, and tip to collector distances (TCD) by the electrospinning method. The open circuit voltage ( V OC ), short circuit current ( J SC ), fill factor (FF), and overall power conversion efficiency ( η )
of DSSC devices using electrospun PVDF-HFP nanofibers were 0.7180–0.7420 V, 9.7200–10.8837 mA/cm 2 , 0.5610–0.6250, and 4.1700–5.0186%, respectively. When 15 wt% of polymer concentration, 14 kV of applied voltage, and 14 cm of TCD is applied to fabricate the
PVDF-HFP nanofiber, the electrospun PVDF-HFP nanofiber should be the regular diameter of a nanofiber, the power conversion efficiency of the DSSC device reached 5.0186% as the best result.
