Abstract

This work reports on the preparation of modified TiO₂ electrodes, which could be applied to the photoanodes in a dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). TiO₂ layer was formed on a FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) coated glass via doctor-blade method and post heat treatment. Then, the various metal hydroxides and metal oxides were selectively deposited onto the TiO₂ layers via electrophoretic deposition and annealing process to give modified TiO₂ layer in DSSCs. When metal hydroxide-deposited electrodes were employed in DSSCs, photovoltaic efficiencies were improved by ca. 3-16% compared to those of the cells with bare TiO₂ electrodes. However, it was found that the efficiencies regressed when the metal hydroxides were converted to metal oxides via the annealing process.
