TiO2–B2O3 sol–gel films were prepared using titanium(IV) isopropoxide as a Ti source and boric acid (H3BO3) as B precursor. B2O3 doping was found to improve the characteristics of TiO2 films making them suitable to use as blocking TiO2 layers in DSSC B2O3 acted as a flux and glass forming oxide leading to amorphous vitreous layers having an average thickness of 50 nm. Films were transparent, adherent and perfectly continuous without any leakage current. X-ray diffraction measurements p…
