  • Fabrication of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells incorporating the polymeric sulfur as the HTM.
  • Performance characterization under standard AM 1.5G illumination.

Main Results:

  • The fabricated ssDSSCs achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.5%.
  • Key photovoltaic parameters recorded include a short-circuit current (Jsc) of 4.1 mA cm(-2) and an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.75 V.
  • The material demonstrated suitability for ssDSSC applications.

Conclusions:

  • Inverse-vulcanized polymeric sulfur is a viable low-cost HTM candidate for ssDSSCs.
  • The study validates the potential of polymeric sulfur in advancing renewable energy technologies.
