CdS and AgBr sensitized eriochrome black T (EBT) dye solar cells
Abstract
The photovoltaic and rectification properties of CdS- and AgBr-sensitized Eriochrome Black T dye solar cells have been studied. The dependence of the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage on light intensity and electrode material are examined and the variations with electrode material are explained on the basis of the built-in potential developed at the metal-semiconductor interface. Conversion efficiency, fill factor, diode factor and reverse saturation current are also calculated for each cell.
