Sol–gel deposition of fluorine-doped tin oxide glasses for dye sensitized solar cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Thin films of fluorine-doped tin-oxide (FTO) were prepared by a sol–gel process using the combination of SnCl 2 ·H 2 O, NH 4 F and isopropanol. The effects of annealing temperature on structural, electrical and optical properties of FTO were studied. It was found that films annealed at temperatures above 500 °C exhibit resistivity of around 30 Ω/sq with an optical transparency up to 90%, which is comparable with commercially available FTO coated glasses. A dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated with the optimized thin film and yielded power conversion efficiency~1.58%.
