NANOSCALE GRAPHENE OXIDE COUNTER ELECTRODE DOPING ENHANCES CURRENT CONVERSION EFFICIENCY IN DSSC: AN OVERVIEW

Abstract

To fulfill the energy requirements all the countries in the world are wondering for the new sources of energy generation. Extraction of fossil fuel from the earth crust is one of the most common practice in the today’s world. But, one day these sources will be depleted and thus different ways need to be designed by which we can grow. Renewable sources can be the better option to generate such energy requirements, tremendous work is also going to be done in this sector. This work is also deals with the generation of energy from the renewable source by the technique used for the extraction of energy from sunlight and convert it to electrical energy. Present work reviles the importance of doping while using graphene oxide counter electrode. It was found that, the current conversion efficiency has been improved enormously with the addition of various dopant material instead of only graphene oxide used, as compared to platinum electrode under the same condition. This review deals with, the components of graphene oxide counter electrode in a detailed manner, their uplifting concepts and conquer barriers.
