Materials with tunable optical and photoelectric properties are prerequisite for the development of highly stable, economical and efficient dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this direction, improved plasmonic DSSCs with comparatively higher light harvesting ability and reduced recombination of photo-generated charge carriers have been fabricated using low energy (120 KeV) Ag ion implanted TiO₂ photoanodes at variable fluence. Herein, the origin of improved photovoltaic performance of Ag implanted DSSCs against conventional DSSC has been explained using UV-visible, photoluminescence and kelvin probe measurements. Further, the efficient interfacial charge transportation within Ag implanted DSSCs has been demonstrated through EIS measurements.

具有可调的光学和光电特性的材料是开发高度稳定，经济和高效的染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSC）的先决条件。在这个方向上，已经使用可变能量密度的低能量（120 KeV）Ag离子注入TiO ₂光电阳极，制造了具有相对更高的光收集能力和减少了光生电荷载流子重组的改进的等离子DSSC。在此，已经使用紫外可见光，光致发光和开尔文探针测量来解释了植入银的DSSC相对于常规DSSC的改进的光伏性能的起源。此外，已经通过EIS测量证明了在植入Ag的DSSC内有效的界面电荷传输。
