I want to simulate the electrical behavior of a DSSC.

This kind of solar cell is made in a sandwich like structure.

First of all, there is a FTO glass like electrode. On this glass it is deposed a TiO2 layer, a dye layer is adsoberd on the TiO2, a liquid electrolyte is in contact with these two layers, and at the end a counter electrode close the system. The counter electrode is a platinized FTO glass.

I would like someone tell me how to start the model and how to register the electrical parameters (voltage and current).
What model do I have to use?

Thank you.

Hi,

our group at ICP has been developing a DSC model. You can find a model description at www.pecsim.ch.

Greetings,
Juergen

I am trying to model DSSC. there is a comsol paper describing the optical and electrical model. I am facing trouble in meshing the nano-meter sized layer where the glass and other layers are of mm range.

Hi.

Could you tell me the reference of the comsol paper?

Thanks a lot.
