Abstract
Poor electrical conductivity, interfacial charge carrier recombination, electrode degradation, etc., restrict practical implementation of the TiO2 based dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs). In this respect, double perovskite oxides (DPOs) A2LuTaO6 (A = Ba, Sr, Ca) have been introduced as the promising DSSC photoanode. These solid-state synthesised DPOs exhibit a suitable wide band gap in the range of 2.94 to 4.07 eV, and 104 times higher order of electrical conductivity than TiO2. This study reveals that the crystal structure and hence the physical properties of these DPOs can also be easily modulated as required by varying its composition.
