“…Wessels et al recently observed direct crystallization of TiO 2 by modification of Kavan's method employing surfactants, although nanometer-sized crystals could only be obtained. [166] Stable aqueous solutions are rare for high-valence metal cations like Ti 4þ because of the facile formation of metastable hydroxides. Aqueous solutions are therefore obtained only in highly acidic environments.…”

Electrodeposition of inorganic compound thin films in the presence of certain organic molecules results in self‐assembly of various hybrid thin films with new properties. Examples of new discoveries by the authors are reviewed, taking cathodic formation of a ZnO/dye hybrid as the leading example. Hybridization of eosinY leads to the formation of highly oriented porous crystalline ZnO as the consequence of dye loading. The hybrid formation is a highly complicated process involving complex chemistry of many molecular and ionic constituents. However, electrochemical analyses of the relevant phenomena indicate the possibility of reaching a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism, giving us the chance to further develop them into industrial technologies. The porous crystals are ideal for photoelectrodes in dye‐sensitized solar cells. As the process also permits the use of non‐heat‐resistant substrates, the technology can be applied for the development of colorful and light‐weight plastic solar cells.

This article reviews the new concepts and new trends of solar cell development. To increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency, reduce the cost, and for application in a much broader field, thin film solar cell, flexible solar cell, and tandem solar cell have become important subjects to be studied. As the representative of the solar cells of the third generation, the progress and challenges of dye sensitized solar cell was also reviewed.

“…The technological and scientific significance of nanocrystalline semiconductor oxide materials have attracted considerable attention in the past several years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Among the metal oxides, TiO 2 displays a variety of interesting properties [1][2][3] and it has been intensively investigated for applications in environmental cleanup [4], photocatalysis [5], dye-sensitized solar cells [2,[6][7][8], hydrophilic coatings [10,11], electrochromic displays [12] and gas sensors [13].…”
