Effect of ZnO films immersion duration in N719 dye on energy conversion efficiency of DSSCs

© Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015. In this research, ZnO films composed of porous spherical nanoparticles were prepared by a sol-gel method and used to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). ZnO films with different thicknesses and different lengths of immersion duration the fi...
