“…Pimpan et al focused on CuO-SnO 2 nanocomposites for their superior response to H 2 gas sensors [6]. Musyaro et al [7] found that the composites of SnO 2 /TiO 2 electrodes improve the stability and performance of DSSC. The pulsed laser-deposited SnO 2 /TiO 2 composite anodes were employed in the Li batteries [8].…”

Pulsed laser deposition was used to fabricate the thin films of SnO2 and SnO2-TiO2 composites on FTO substrates and these films were characterized to understand the effect of TiO2 on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of SnO2. The crystalline nature, phase purity, and optical bandgap were determined using X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis measurements, respectively. The Tauc plots confirm that the composite films have a higher band gap energy than SnO2. EDX spectra demonstrate that the thin films contain Ti, Sn, and O ions. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicate three blue emission bands at wavelengths of 410, 435, and 460 nm and these are due to the oxygen vacancies or interstitial oxygen ions and defect related states formed during the thin-film deposition of SnO2 and composites. These films are n-type semiconductors as verified by the Hall Effect measurements. At the interface of the film, the frequency dependence of the dielectric at room temperature reveals that as the frequency increases, the dielectric constant and dielectric losses decrease. SnO2 film has a significantly higher a.c. conductivity than the SnO2-TiO2 composite films. The correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism is responsible for the conduction behaviour and obeys Johncher's power law (n<1). Both films exhibit a frequency-dependent increase in impedance. The addition of TiO2 in SnO2 affects the structural, optical, dielectric, and ac conductivity of films at room temperature. These optical and n-type semiconducting nature supports the potential application in microelectronics, optoelectronics, and sensor applications.

Photoelectrodes are key components of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and as such improving their properties, may lead to an overall improvement of the entire cell.This paper aims to fabricate and compare the properties of various photoanodes (resulting in DSSCs) to determine how the overall efficiency of the cell is affected by various additives mixed into the TiO2 paste deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) covered glass, thus changing the photoanode composition. The TiO2 paste has been previously mixed with various materials such as ZnO, SiO2, Pd, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Basing on the prepared photoanodes, DSSCs have been prepared and analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Moreover, were tested on a SS I-V CT-02 laboratory stand equipped with a Photo Emission Tech SS150AAA solar radiation simulator and Keithley 2401 low-voltage multimeter. The test results allowed for a determination of their properties and comparison. The highest efficiency has been obtained for the DSSCs based on photoanodes with TiO2 (1.58%) and TiO2/ZnO (1.52%).

“…Whilst the approach showed significantly enhanced lifetime over a solar cell without a UV filter, only a slight increment in the photocurrent was possible over devices with no UV filters. The optimisation of luminescent material selection has already been shown to lead to significant improvements in current density of PV technologies such as those based on c-Si [20,21], CdTe [22,23] and CIGS [24] thin films, and in DSSCs [25,26] and further optimisation could lead to greater enhancement OPV devices.…”
