DFT Studies on a Metal Oxide@Graphene-Decorated D-π₁-π₂-A Novel Multi-Junction Light-Harvesting System for Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications.

ABSTRACT: Graphene nanocomposites have emerged as potential photoanode materials for increased performance of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) via charge transfer. Various metal-oxide-decorated graphene nanocomposites have widespread applications in energy devices, such as solar cells, fuel cells, batteries, sensors, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. However, the possible role of these composites in DSSC applications has largely remained unexplored. Herein, we studied a Sb₂O₃-decorated graphene-D-π₁-π₂-A sensitized TiO₂ nanocomposite (dye-(TiO₂)₉/Sb₂O₃@GO) as a model multi-junction light-harvesting system and examined the impact of various π-bridges on the optical and photovoltaic properties
