Fabrication of screen‐printing pastes from TiO2 powders for dye‐sensitised solar cells
Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: A preparation technique of TiO2 screen‐printing pastes from commercially‐available powders has been disclosed in order to fabricate the nanocrystalline layers without cracking and peeling‐off over 17 µm thickness for the photoactive electrodes of the dye‐sensitised solar cells. A conversion efficiency of 8·7% was obtained by using a single‐layer of a semi‐transparent‐TiO2 film. A conversion efficiency of 9·2% was obtained by using double‐layers composed of transparent and light‐scattering TiO2 films for a photon‐trapping system. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
