Fabrications of electrospun nanofibers containing inorganic fillers for dye-sensitized solar cells

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2014 Aug;14(8):6231-4. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2014.8439.

Abstract

Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) nanofibers containing inorganic fillers were fabricated by electrospinning. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using these nanofibers showed improved short circuit currents without degraded fill factors or open circuit voltages. The long-term stabilities of cells using electrospun PVDF-HFP/titanium isopropoxide (TIP) nanofibers were significantly improved.
