We present Z-Type Dye Sensitized Solar Modules (DSSMs) with screen printed graphene-based vertical interconnects. This prevents corrosion of interconnects in contact with electrolytic species, unlike conventional Ag interconnects. By enlarging the width of single cells, or by increasing the number of cells, we get an enhancement of the aperture power conversion efficiency similar to+12% with respect to Ag-based modules, with 1000 h stability under 85 degrees C stress test. This paves the way to original design layouts with decreased dead area and increased generated power per aperture area.

Abstract
We present Z-Type Dye Sensitized Solar Modules (DSSMs) with screen printed graphene-based vertical interconnects. This prevents corrosion of interconnects in contact with electrolytic species, unlike conventional Ag interconnects. By enlarging the width of single cells, or by increasing the number of cells, we get an enhancement of the aperture power conversion efficiency similar to+12% with respect to Ag-based modules, with 1000 h stability under 85 degrees C stress test. This paves the way to original design layouts with decreased dead area and increased generated power per aperture area.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
