“…The nanowires and ESs are as well composed of nanoparticles. All the primary particles of FMS*ESs are nanoparticles (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) crystal-face-oriented interconnected, and the primary particles of the ESs of FMS*ESs are wholly crystal-face-oriented interconnected, this two parts result in fast electron transport. FMS*ESs itself as microsphere already has light scattering, and the submicron scattering centers (∼ 200 nm ESs) inside it further promote the light scattering effect.…”

“…low-power consumer electronics, outdoor or indoor recreational and building integrated photovoltaics [1][2][3]. DSSC, typically, consists of a dye adsorbed metal oxide film as a photoelectrode, a counter electrode and a redox-mediator or hole-conductor [4] Various metal oxide materials (TiO 2 , ZnO, SnO 2 , etc) [5][6][7][8] have been used as photoanode materials to develop efficient DSSCs. Amongst these photoanode materials, TiO 2 based DSSC exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency.…”

“…ZnO has much higher electron mobility than that of anatase TiO 2 . Also, ZnO based DSSC is also interesting to be developed due to the higher position of the conduction band compared to the conduction band of TiO 2, allowing possibility to generate higher photovoltage [1,3]. ZnO generates a combination of better properties, e.g.…”

A theoretical model based on electron diffusion differential equation and Schottky barrier model was developed to determine the current-voltage characteristics of DSSC. To verify the model DSSC with ZnO nanorods photoelectrode which was chemically bath deposited onto the TCO was fabricated. According to modeling results, increasing of recombination current density J at these interfaces results in a decrease in Schottky barrier height ϕ b and therefore improves the photovoltage under the open-circuit condition. It is found that the open-circuit voltage remains constant when the TCO/ZnO Schottky barrier height was varied in the range of 0.45 -0.6 eV. This theoretical model consistents with the experimental result in which the fabricated DSSCs can produce conversion efficiency in the range of 0.98 -1.16%. The trend in photovoltage calculated in the theoretical model basically agrees with the experimental result, although the calculated photocurrent is somewhat over estimated compared to the experimental results. The model presents that the ideality factor for ZnO nanorods, which also contributes to the enhancement of photovoltage, increases in the range of 2.75 -3.0 as the annealing temperature is increased in the experiment.
