- Abstract
In the present work, a novel heterostructured dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated by using simple spin-coating steps. g-C3N4 and Ag modified TiO2 microspheres were used as the photoanode materials. The aim of this study was to modify TiO2 microspheres by using g-C3N4 so as to retard the recombination of electron-holes and in turn to improve the photoelectric conversion ef ciency (PCE) of DSSCs. Additionally, Ag nanoparticles were photodeposited as the interlayer between g-C3N4 and the surface of TiO2 microspheres to increase visible-light absorption via the surface plasmon resonance, so as to further improve the PCE of DSSCs. The experimental results showed that the performance of DSSCs was obviously improved after modified by g-C3N4 and Ag.
