摘要
The charge transfer dynamic processes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) with a TiO2 porous counter electrode was investigated by electrochemistry impedance spectrum(EIS) and intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS)/intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS). The relationship between several dominating charge transfer processes in DSC was discussed. The effect mechanism of different counter electrode materials on short-circuit current density (J(sc)) and fill factors (FF) were analysed by equivalent circuit. It is found that, the electron transport process in TiO2 anode is seriously limited by a bad counter electrode material. The capability of counter electrode is mainly determined by the activity of catalyzer, the conductance of the carrier material and the effective contact area.
