Highly efficient large scale flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were successfully designed and fabricated. By the introduction of a light scattering layer or pressure, the DSC efficiency was greatly improved. The flexible DSCs with a small surface area (0.4 cm × 0.4 cm) gave a high energy conversion efficiency of 5.50%. The energy conversion efficiencies of large area DSCs (2 cm×3 cm, active area of 2.7 cm²) improved from 1.52% to 1.81% and 2.50%, which is an increase of 20.0% and 66.7% compared with the DSCs prepared without any treatment. The 5 cm×7 cm DSCs (active area of 16.2 cm²) without any optimization showed an energy conversion efficiency of 1.60% under a sunlight intensity of 40 mW·cm^-2. The mechanism for the improvement in efficiency was also studied. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrated that the pressure method can significantly reduce the series resistance (R_s) and the charge transfer resistance (R_ct) in the TiO₂/dye/electrolyte interface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the TiO₂ particles were far more closely connected after pressing, which was helpful for electron transport in the TiO₂ network as well as for dye adsorption. In addition, the photovoltaic parameters of these flexible DSCs were found to be stable after the 900 h stability tests. The experimental results obtained for these flexible DSCs can be used as a foundation for further basic research and for industrialization technical research.
