Electrochemical Impedance Spectra of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Fundamentals and Spreadsheet Calculation

Figure 11

Complex plane plot for the impedance of a DSSC showing calculated impedance of individual components and complete DSSC using parameters as summarized in Table 2. The blue circle shows the EIS spectra simulated on Zview software using the same parameters and according to the equivalent circuit as shown in the inset, where DX is the extended element 11: Bisquert number 2 that corresponds to the impedance of the diffusion-recombination process at the PE of DSSCs .
