Abstract

This chapter summarizes the applications of EMTEs in flexible bifacial DSSCs and FTTHs. A highly efficient nanostructured flexile transparent CE fabricated by a facile and low-cost method for DSSC devices is reported. This hybrid CE consists of a nickel micro-EMTE with in situ decorated PtNPs and fully embedded in a flexible transparent substrate, and demonstrates superior optoelectronic performances and excellent mechanical flexibility under bending stress. The in situ loading of PtNPs avoids the wastage of expensive platinum material, minimizes loss in optical transparency and facilities the high electro-catalytic activity for triiodide reduction. The synergetic features of the proposed hybrid PtNP-EMTE used as CEs for flexible DSSCs enable improved power conversion efficiency. When a Ti-foil is used as the photo-anode, unifacial flexible DSSCs with PtNP-EMTE CE exhibits an excellent PCE of 6.91%. In flexible bifacial DSSCs using PtNP-coated ITO-PEN as photo-anode and the PtNP-EMTE as CE, remarkable PCEs of 5.67% (front-side illumination) and 4.87% (rear side illumination) are recorded. The front-to-rear PCE ratio of our bifacial DSSC approaches 85%, which is among the highest in published literature. These promising results show the great potential of this hybrid transparent CE in scalable production and commercialization of low-cost and efficient flexible DSSCs. Based on LEIT fabricated micro-EMTEs, a transparent and flexible thin-film heater is also fabricated, demonstrating excellent performance compared with existing products. With superior performances, our micro-EMTEs and nano-EMTEs are potential candidates for other flexible electronic devices as well.
