What electrolytes are used in solar cells?

PE and CE of the solar cell. Numerous efforts have been made to design novel and efficient electrolyte formulations in order to achieve optimal performance in third-generation solar cells. These electrolytes can be categorized as liquid electrolytes, quasi-solid electrolytes, and solid-state conductors. Figure 6represents a

, but also for charge transport between the PE and CE of the solar cell. Numerous efforts have been made to design novel and efficient electrolyte formulations in order to achieve optimal performance in third-generation solar cells. These electrolytes can be categorized as liquid electrolytes, quasi-solid electrolytes, and solid-state conductors.

What determines the striking power of a photovoltaic module?

The striking power on a photovoltaic module is determined by the amount of power in the solar radiation and the angular position between the module and the sun rays (Scheme 1 ). When the energy-absorbing surface of the module and the sunlight are perpendicular to one another, the energy capacity is always at its peak.

How does enlightening a solar cell work?

The I–V curve of the solar cell is the linear combination of the I–V curve of the solar cell diode in the dark with the light-generated current. The light causes the I–V curve to move downward into the fourth quadrant, where power can be extracted from the diode. Enlightening a cell increases the diode's regular “dark” current.
