Abstract

A negatively tapered nanohole-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) antireflective protection layer with a hydrophobic surface improves the sunlight absorption of dye-sensitized solar cells.

Highlights

  • Over the past decades, research into alternative energy sources has been a global issue as a result of enhanced environmental pollution and fossil-fuel consumption

  • The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) fall below 13%, mainly due to limitations including the light absorption of the dyes and the interface charge separation between dyes and titanium dioxide (TiO2) electrodes.[2,3]

  • We demonstrated the PCE enhancement of DSSCs via protective AR PDMS layers with nanoholes (NHs) patterns
