Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Sol–Gel Derived AZO/GZO Bilayer as an Efficient Electron Transport Layer
Abstract
In this article, we deposited a layer of ZnO nanostructure doped with various concentrations from 0.0 to 4.0% volume percentage of aluminum and gallium on the glass substrate via sol–gel process and spin coating technique. The sol concentration that used for spin coating was 0.1 M. The thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV–Vis spectrometer and resistivity measurement (four point probe) to investigate the structural, surface morphology, optical transmittance, and electrical properties of the thin films. Then the optimized layers were used in dye-sensitized solar cells. The sample with GZO/AZO bilayer shows the 10.2 mA/cm2 short circuit current density, 0.51 V open circuit voltage, 56% fill factor and 2.91% efficiency.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
