Abstract

The intention of this research is to demonstrate how the co-sensitization of organic and inorganic dyes influences the overall performance of the proposed method for DSSCs at low light intensities and enhances the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A maximum efficiency of 6.21% at 108 W/m2 was achieved by the co-sensitization method-fabricated DSSC. The co-sensitized photovoltaic cells work together synergistically to minimize the rate of electron and hole recombination, which leads to an increase in efficiency. The ruthenium-based N719 dye and the organic sensitizer RK1 are used in this co-sensitization approach because both dye-sensitizers have a significant impact on the performance of the DSSC. The proposed solar cells were analyzed using their current-voltage (I-V), incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE), and various DSSC parameters vs time properties. The proposed device has also retained 93.29% of its initial performance even after 1000 h.
