Then the as-prepared films were sensitized by the trithiophene carboxylic diacid(TTDA), pentathiophene carboxylic diacid(PTDA), N3[Ru(Ⅱ)L 2(SCN) 2, L=2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate] dye and the mixture of PTDA and N3 dye, respectively. After fabricating the films into devices, the I-V curves were determined and their photovoltaic properties were studied. The results show that the porous TiO 2 films can be sensitized by both TTDA and PTDA effectively, while the film sensitized by the mixture of PTDA and N3 dye has a maximum photo-electric conversion efficiency.展开更多

The results show that TiO2 film prepared from precursor solution without PEG is composed of spherical particles of about 100 nm and several nanometer mesoporous pores. With the increase of the amount of PEG added to the precursor solution, the diameter and the depth of the pores in the resultant films increas on the decomposition of PEG during heat-treatment, which lead to them increase of the surface roughness of the films. XRD and TEM results show that the single anatase phase is precipitated and there are some orientation effects in (101) direction.展开更多

The incident photon-to-current efficiency and photoelectrical conversion efficiency were both improved by chemical treatments of titanium tetrachloride and titanium isopropoxide. The surface roughness, quantities of adsorbed dye, photocurrent-voltage curves, IR spectra and UV-visible absorption spectra were measured, and the mechanism of chemical treatments was discussed.展开更多
