| dc.description | Nano-composites of TiO2 and ZnO were successfully prepared using the doctor blade application and high temperature sintering on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate. They were used as efficient photo anode in high performance dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) assembled with N719 dye. The high-density frameworks of TiO2 and ZnO were synthesized on separate ITO conducting glass using a facile and cost-effective two-step approach to compare the output efficiency. We report on the interfacial boundary relationships, charge – collection conversion efficiency and I-V characteristics of the DSSCs with different electrolytes. The TiO2 photo anode demonstrated an enhanced solar-to-electrical energy conversion of approximately 5.41 % with KCl electrolyte which was far less than that of a ZnO photo anode with KCl electrolyte which had about 21 % increase under conditions of 1.5 AM. Because of the enhanced solar energy conversion of the ZnO photo anode, l.arboreus with KI sensitizer records 9.78 % is a promising candidate for large manufacture of high performance DSSCs modules. | |
