Abstract

Sm3+-doped SrSnO3 (SrSnO3:Sm3+) nanopowders were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and followed by a heat treatment process. The as-synthesized nanopowders were assembled in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to investigate their photoelectric properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) confirmed the formation of SrSnO3:Sm3+ nanopowders with perovskite structure. The ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra and photoluminescence spectra indicate a down-conversion from ultraviolet light to visible light which matches the strong absorption region of the N719 dye. The DSSC based on SrSnO3:Sm3+ photo-anode improved its photoelectric conversion efficiency (η) via the down-conversion of doped Sm3+. Under the irradiation of the simulated sunlight with 100 mW/cm2, the DSSC based on SrSnO3 doping with Sm3+ of 0.6 wt% showed the highest η of 1.54%, which improved 71.11% compared with the DSSC based on pure SrSnO3.
