摘要

TiO_2/NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Er~(3+) nano-heterostructures are prepared in situ on the TiO_2 photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution (HR)-TEM confirm the formation of TiO_2/NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Er~(3+) nano-heterostructures. The up-converted fluorescence spectrum of the photoanode containing the nano-heterostructure confirms electron injection from NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Er~(3+) to the condution band (CB) of TiO_2. When using a photoanode containing the nano-heterostructure in a DSC, the overall efficiency (η) of the device is 17% higher than that of a device without the up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and 13% higher than that of a device containing mixed TiO_2 and UCNPs. Nano-heterostructures of TiO_2/ NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Tm~(3+) and TiO_2/NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Ho~(3+) can also be prepared in situ on TiO_2 photoanodes. The overall efficiency of the device containing TiO_2/ NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Ho~(3+) nano-heterostructures is 15% higher than the control device without UCNPs. When nano-heterostructures of TiO_2/NaYF_4:Yb~(3+),Tm~(3+) are used, the open-circuit voltage (V_(oc)) and the short-circuit current density (J_(oc)) are all slightly decreased. The effect of the different UCNPs results from the different energy levels of Er~(3+), Tm~(3+), and Ho~(3+). These results demonstrate that utilizing the UCNPs with the apporpriate energy levels can lead to effective electron injection from the UCNPs to the CB of TiO_2, effectively improving the photocurrent and overall efficiency of DSCs while using NIR light.
