Two-step approach was employed for the deposition, which offers advantages such as excellent surface adhesion, large area deposition, high reproducibility and yield. Structural characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a preferred c-axis (002) oriented growth. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images reveals uniformly distributed hexagonal ZnO nanorods with average diameter varying from 80 to 250 nm. Average growth rate of the films was estimated using Surface Profilometer which was found to be similar to 1 mu m/h. Optical characterizations were carried out using Photo-spectrometer and Raman spectroscopy. The DSSCs using these ZnO films of nanorods array as photo-electrodes show conversion efficiency ranging from 0.24 to -0.71 %, the maximum efficiency was obtained for films deposited for time duration 8 h.

In this work, titanium dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by combustion method. The synthesized material was characterized by XRD, SEM and BET. Dye sensitized solar cell was fabricated using the synthesized material and its performance was compared with the solar cell fabricated using commercial TiO2. In order to evaluate the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs, photocurrent density to photovoltage (J-V) characteristic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were carried out. The DSSC fabricated using combustion synthesized and commercial TiO2 exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 6.11% and 6.62%, respectively. Combustion synthesized TiO2 which displayed similar efficiency to that of commercial material is least studied in the literature for solar cell applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.873</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
