In this work, ZnO Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with dye re-adsorption technique and NiO thin films coated as n-p junction were investigated. The general structures of ZnO DSSCs were FTO/ZnO as a photo-electrode, Eosin-Y as a dye sensitizer, iodine/iodide solution as an electrolyte and Pt/FTO a...
