To enhance the light absorption properties and PCE of GeSe thin films
this study proposes a dye-sensitization surface modification method
employing single dyes such as Rhodamine B (RB)
Methylene Blue (MB)
and Congo Red (CR)
as well as their mixtures
to modify the GeSe thin films. Experimental results show that the light absorption capacity of all dye-modified GeSe thin films is significantly improved
with the RB+MB mixed dye demonstrating the most pronounced effect. By simulating the performance of dye-modified GeSe thin-film solar cells using Scaps-1D software
it is found that the GeSe thin film modified with MB exhibits the highest PCE
reaching 26.32 %
whereas the RB+MB modification results in a lower PCE
possibly due to excessive dye loading not being well-matched with other cell performance parameters. This study demonstrates the feasibility of dye-based modification.
