Abstract

A mesoporous nanocrystalline TiO₂ film was prepared on a transparent conductive polymer (ITO/PEN, PEN = poly ethylene naphthalene-2, 6-dicarboxylate) through a doctor-blade method and then treated by static mechanical compression for enhancing the particles connection. Effect of TiO₂ loading and dye sensitizing condition on the photovoltaic performance were first investigated with N719 sensitizer in combination with TiO₂ solidified quasi-solid electrolyte. A solar cell with platinum-coated FTO glass counter electrode and ITO/PEN photoelectrode, prepared by an ethanol based binder-free TiO₂ paste composed of a mixture of P25 (21nm, 25% rutile and 75% anatase) and 100 nm anatase TiO₂ particles, yielded highest conversion efficiencies of 6.53% under 1 sun illumination. © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
