Design and Performance Analysis Of Complete Solid-State Dye Sensitised Solar Cell Using Eosin-Y Xanthene Dye: a SCAPS -1D Simulation Study

This paper reports the theoretical simulation study of the performance of a complete solid-state dye-sensitised solar cell with Eosin-Y as the photosensitizer and PEDOT: PSS as the hole transport layer. SCAPS-1D software is used for the simulation under quasi-ideal conditions and got an optimised efficiency of 4.19%, which matches much with the reported experimental values in the literature. These finding indicates the potential of Eosin-Y as a cost-effective photosensitiser capable of performing even under dim light conditions.
