Abstract

We have investigated the effects of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) on the performance of quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Ag and Au nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by photoreduction in the presence of generation 5 polyester hydroxyl acetylene bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid dendrons (Dendron) as a stabilizer. The plasmon-enhanced DSSCs were achieved by incorporating metal@Dendron NPs into TiO2 photoanodes. The presence of dendrons prevents the photoelectrons from recombining on the surface of TiO2 semiconductor and improves the stability of metal NPs. With the addition of Ag@Dendron NPs, the photocurrent and the power conversion efficiency of quasi-solid-state DSSCs increased due to the LSP effect of metal NPs and the barrier effect of dendron, which were confirmed by the increased incident photon-to-photocurrent efficiency and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis.
