Reproducible manufacturing of dye‐sensitized solar cells on a semi‐automated baseline
Abstract
A fully operational baseline consisting of dedicated equipment to process nanocrystalline dye‐sensitized solar cell devices has been installed at ECN. This baseline focuses on the production of glass/glass devices with dimensions up to 10×10 cm 2. Present power conversion efficiencies of 6% obtained for cell areas of 2ċ5 cm 2 are successfully translated to 100 cm 2 devices with an active area of 68 cm 2 by application of identical cell components. The power conversion efficiency with respect to total area was 4%. Processing of a large number of devices in the baseline shows good results in terms of process reliability and yield. The overall yield for a series of 27 devices (10×10 cm 2) was 96%, while 84% (22 of the remaining 26 devices) generated a cell efficiency within 7% deviation from the average value (4ċ3%). The reproducibility of the titanium dioxide (TiO 2) colloid synthesis has been investigated. The deviation from the average efficiency (4ċ9%) of three batches of colloid was at most 3ċ2%. These results prove that complete device manufacturing of nc‐DSC by a baseline process, starting with colloid synthesis is reproducible for surfaces up to 10×10 cm 2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
