Description
Summary:In this study, the optimization of BaSnO3 perovskite as a compact layer in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was conducted via a spin-coating method. The experiment in this study was designed by response surface methodology with Box–Behnken design (RSM/BBD). Three important factors were studied i.e., annealing duration, annealing temperature and the number of drop-casting. The relationship between these factors was studied and used to identify the best parameters for DSSC performance. The statistical analysis (ANOVA) illustrated the significance of all three parameters towards the PCE of the DSSC. The validation test showed the experimental PCE was 4.82, which is in good agreement with the predicted value (4.82) by the model.
