Fabrication of Fe2O3 nanoflakes-based electrochemical solar cells prepared by facile thermal oxidation

A Fe2O3 nanoflakes-based solar cell was successfully prepared by thermal oxidation of iron film on FTO glass. The short circuit current density (Jsc) of the cell increased with annealing time while the open circuit voltage was saturated after 1 h. This enhancement was caused by the increased surface...

Description
Summary:A Fe2O3 nanoflakes-based solar cell was successfully prepared by thermal oxidation of iron film on FTO glass. The short circuit current density (Jsc) of the cell increased with annealing time while the open circuit voltage was saturated after 1 h. This enhancement was caused by the increased surface area of the nanoflakes and improved electron transfer through the (110) crystal plane in the Fe2O3-based electrochemical solar cell. The overall photovoltaic performance significantly increased with ruthenium dye, which likely suppressed carrier recombination on the Fe2O3 surface.
