摘要
A transparent conductive oxide-less dye-sensitized solar cell (TCO-less DSC) consisting of a thick and porous Ti electrode is reported. The Ti electrode was contacted with the back of a stained porous titania layer. A thick Ti electrode prepared by conventional sputtering prevented ionic diffusions through the Ti electrode and decreased photovoltaic performance. Tetrapod-shaped ZnO crystals were used to prepare straight and continuous nanopores in the Ti electrode to maintain the ionic diffusion. 8% efficiency of the TCO-less DSC is also reported.
