摘要
Dye-sensitized solar cells have slightly lower photoelectric efficiency than silicon solar cells. Researchers have investigated various ways to address this problem. In this paper, we found that the optimized separation between the condenser lens and the cells was 8 mm. The cell efficiency increased from 2.5% to 8.3% compared to two isolated cells without a lens. If the efficiency of the basic cell can be increased sufficiently, it should be possible to commercialize the product. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
