Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells TiO2 Thin Film Preparation and Conditions in Laboratory

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of colloidal solution deposition method on the preparation of the nanostructured TiO2 thin film for dye-sensitized solar cells in basic laboratory conditions was introduced. The effects of reaction temperature, time, and solvents on the film properties have been investigated. The experiments show that the use of dilute acetic acid could get a stable sol; 450°C 30 minutes in oven without preheat could have ideal TiO2 thin film.
