  Abstract

To enhance the flexibility and lightweightness of photovoltaic devices, we investigated the effect of titanium mesh as a photoelectrode for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We proposed the use of a pressing process to create the titanium mesh to increase the amount of incident light. The DSSCs with titanium mesh as the photoelectrode exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of 3.25% (at 1 sun, AM 1.5). To improve the performance of the DSSCs, we proposed double-layer structured counter electrodes, with one layer placed on the top layer of the photoelectrode and the other layer placed on the bottom layer of the photoelectrode. The double-layer structure resulted in an energy conversion efficiency of 3.04% (at 1 sun, AM 1.5).
