The
transparent characteristic of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) makes
them suitable for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) devices.
However, the diffusive scattering layer, which is usually used to
increase the efficiency of these devices, greatly lowers the transparency
of the DSC. This paper described a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal
(PC) reflector with a sub-micrometer characteristic length that can
improve the efficiency of these devices while maintaining transparency.
This 2D PCs were fabricated directly onto TiO2 photoelectrodes
using colloidal lithography and have the structure of a nanopillar
array. A nanopillar with a height of 430 nm was observed to selectively
reflect up to 40% of the light of 400–500 nm wavelength. The
perceived transparency of the 2D PC electrode was 52%, which is much
higher than 0.3% of the conventional scattering layer. The DSC fabricated
using the 2D PC electrode demonstrated a maximum photon-to-electric
conversion efficiency of 8.23%, which is 18% higher than the pristine
electrode. The 2D PC is a highly efficient and wavelength-selective
reflector that can be applied to various photoelectric conversion
devices.
