Application of dye-sensitized nanofibers in solar cells

Nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) reinforced with dye N719 were successfully produced by electrospinning. Electrospinning is a method for producing polymeric fabric with fibers ranging from 50 to 500 nm in diameter. We prepared electrospun polymer nanofibers by the electrospinning method and investigated about their applications to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) dye N719 blend nanofibers were prepared and examined the FTIR,UV, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
