“…doctor blade but nowadays, many techniques are available which could be applied as per need and device architecture [42][43][44][45][46]. Doping of semiconductor material with suitable cation or anion also alters its optical energy bandgap, and post-deposition treatments like annealing affect the electrical, structural, and other relevant properties [47][48][49].…”

In this era the requirement for energy is enhancing, therefore, many energy resources are developed among them the emerging third-generation dye-sensitized solar cell is one of the environment-friendly solar cell-based technology. Generally, dye-sensitized solar cells consist of a nanomaterial-based photoanode, dye molecules as an absorber, electrolyte, and counter electrode. In the case of indoor application, this solar cell works easily so this is the characteristics of a dye-sensitized solar cell. Moreover, the outdoor performance of DSSC degrades on exposure to sunlight. Exposure to sunlight increases the temperature of the internal component of DSSC and consequently degradation in device performance. Long-term stability is obtained by the choice of such material where degradation takes place slowly and plastic covers are also coated over DSSC to prevent degradation. The solar response of DSSC towards dye was also mentioned, the higher the percentage of EQE higher the efficiency of the device. In this chapter, the authors discuss the introduction of a solar cell, the working principle of DSSC, and the available research background for outdoor performance and long-term stability with a solar response of device i.e. EQE or IPCE.

In order to control the deposition of Zn-related films by chemical bath deposition, the effects of Zn-complexing agent are analyzed. ZnS films were produced by chemical bath deposition technique employing sodium citrate, ethanolamine and Triethanolamine as complexing agents. The deposition conditions for ZnS (ZnO) thin films were obtained through a thermodynamic analysis, using distribution diagrams for molar fraction of Zn complexes. From species distribution diagrams of Zn-ethanolamine, Zn-Triethanolamine and Zn-citrate. It was found that for pH values between 4 and 6 the highest Zn fraction is obtained. The results highlight the importance of complexing agent morphology, while the use of ethanolamine and triethanolamine produce ZnO films due to their high reactivity; the use of sodium citrate produce ZnS films. Deposited ZnS films have a cubic structure, n-type conductivity, resistivity of 8.36×104 ??cm with a 3.75 eV bandgap.
