Electrical Properties of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Prepared by Blending SnO₂ Micro Particles and TiO₂ Nano Particles

Abstract:

Conductive SnO2 powder was synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and was blended with TiO2 nano particles in order to improve the conductivity of TiO2 porous films used in dye-sensitized solar cells. However, the conductivity of the films decreased because of the exposure of SnO2 to high temperature during synthesis and calcination.
