The Enhancement of Dye-Sensitized Solar cell Performance by Tio2-Based Mixed Metal Oxide Nanostructured Electrodes

摘要

The TiO₂-based mixed metal oxides were synthesized by surfactant assisted templating method. The XRD results indicated that the addition of small amount of other metal oxides into nanostructured TiO₂, the structure of the mixed oxide still maintains an anatase type of TiO₂.The role of added metal was based on the crystal growth inhibiter, which leads to smaller grain size when compared to the sole metal oxide. Among TiO₂-based mixed metal oxides, the cells fabricated from TiZr₅ showed the highest efficiency of 5.13%
