Influence of Calcination Temperature on the Performance of TiO₂ Films in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract:

In this work, the effects of calcination temperature on the photovoltaic performance of TiO₂ films prepared with non-hydrolytic sol-gel method were reported. The optimal photovoltaic performance of DSCs was obtained by annealing TiO₂ film at 550 °C. The short-circuit current (Jsc), open-circuit voltage, fill factor (FF) and energy conversion efficiency were 15.68 mA·cm^-², 0.71 V, 0.62 and 6.83%, respectively.
