Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using Pt-standard cathode possesses a major drawback that its price is high. This work deals with the preparation of Palladium (Pd) cathode via a simple technique that is liquid phase deposition (LPD) technique for DSSC. The influence of Pd content in term of the con...
