Effect of surface treatment on the performance and characterization of DS solar cell

This work presents, effect of laser shock wave on the DSSC efficiency, a clear shift was obtained on the optical absorption peak of RK1 dye after irradiated with 9 nsec Pulsed Nd:Yag laser, 532 nm wavelength and energy of the 800m J/pulse. The absorption peak increase results in enhanced the efficiency of the DS solar cell from 0.5% to 0.58%.
