Dye-sensitised and perovskite solar cells as indoor energy harvestors

Abstract

The power output of dye-sensitised solar cells and Perovskite solar cells were evaluated under simulated indoor condition. Photopolymers were used to encapsulate the both types of photovoltaic devices which might not be otherwise thermally sufficiently stable. More than twice higher external quantum efficiency was confirmed than measurement under simulated sunlight whilst maintaining photovoltage, leading to up to nearly 20% power conversion efficiency.
