Dye-sensitized solar cell based on optically transparent TiO2 nanocrystalline electrode prepared by atomized spray pyrolysis technique

Characterization of sprayed TiO2 on ITO substrates for solar cell applications

“…The metal oxide semiconductors such as TiO 2 , ZnO, and SnO 2 are researched and widely studied for various application such as optoelectronic devices, solar cells and soon. Among these semiconductors, in the field of solar cell fabrication, TiO 2 have been explored widely [1,2]. TiO 2 thin films have many applications to engage in the field of sensors, antireflection coatings, Interfertial filters, solar cells, photo catalysts depend not only on its energy band structure but to a great extent on its crystal structure, crystallite size and morphology [3].…”

Effect of deposition parameters on the properties of TiO2 thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis

“…TiO 2 is having large band gap (3.7 eV) with interesting chemical, electrical, and optical properties with three different crystalline structure: rutile (tetragonal), anastase (tetragonal), and brookite (orthorhombic). Also, its specific properties such as high transparency at UV-Vis region, high refractive index, stability of the chemical composition are the few reasons for the TiO 2 films to be used in the fabrication of solar cells [3,4]. On the other hand, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is found in a wide range of impermanent consumer products such as household paints, cosmetics, medicinal ointments, and food products.…”

Au-Loaded Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Synthesized by Modified Sol-Gel/Impregnation Methods and Their Application to Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

“…There are many ways to synthesize TiO 2 such as precipitation method [11][12][13], solvothermal method [14][15][16][17], solgel method [18][19][20][21][22], spray pyrolysis [23][24][25][26], and microwave method [27][28][29]. Sol-gel process consists of 2 main reactions, hydrolysis and condensation [18][19][20][21][22][30][31][32][33].…”
