Abstract

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are fabricated using a novel 3C-SiC/TiO2 nanocomposite as a photoelectrode to enhance the power conversion efficiency. Compared with a pristine nanocrystalline TiO2 cell, a DSSC based on a 3C-SiC (0.04 wt%)/TiO2 nanocomposite photoelectrode shows ∼115% increase in power conversion efficiency.
