Synergistic effect of CoFe2O4 and Ag nanoparticles on TiO2 Photoanodes for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells with and without external magnetic field

Key Points

• Increased efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells is observed with the addition of CoFe2O4 and Ag nanoparticles in TiO2 photoanodes.
• Efficiency improvements noted were up to 25% in specific configurations under applied magnetic fields in controlled conditions.
• The study uses experimental setups involving multiple configurations of TiO2-based materials and varying external magnetic field strengths.
• Findings indicate that these materials can lead to innovations in solar cell technology, encouraging further exploration of hybrid materials.
