Abstract

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce phosphors have been prepared and used as an effective scattering layer on top of a transparent layer of nanocrystalline TiO₂ for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce scattering layer increases the photocurrent of DSSCs due to the enhanced light harvesting mainly via the improved light absorption and scattering. Under one sun illumination (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm⁻²), a high efficiency of 7.91% was achieved for the cell with a Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce scattering layer, which is an increase of 13.5% compared to the cell without a scattering layer (6.97%).
