Nanostructured aerogels are potential candidates for photoanodes in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Recent studies show that solid state DSSC with titania aerogel photoanodes exhibit conversion efficiency of 5.2%. This is mainly attributed to the high short-circuit current density achieved by more dye adsorption and reduced recombination of charge carriers. In this paper we have attempted to develop a simulation based on a theoretical model to understand the performance of aerogel based DSSC. The theoretical results obtained are compared with the experimental results. The results generated by the theoretical model agree well with the results obtained experimentally .

具有多孔气凝胶光阳极的染料敏化太阳能电池的建模和仿真

纳米结构气凝胶是染料敏化太阳能电池 (DSSC) 中光阳极的潜在候选者。最近的研究表明，带有二氧化钛气凝胶光阳极的固态 DSSC 的转换效率为 5.2%。这主要归因于通过更多的染料吸附和减少的电荷载流子复合实现的高短路电流密度。在本文中，我们尝试开发基于理论模型的模拟，以了解基于气凝胶的 DSSC 的性能。得到的理论结果与实验结果进行了比较。理论模型产生的结果与实验得到的结果非常吻合。
