Abstract

This paper reports the effect of TiCl4 on the performance of ZnO based DSC. ZnO was used due to its stability against photo-corrosion and photochemical properties similar to TiO2. Thin films of nanocrystalline ZnO were deposited on transparent conducting oxide glass using spray method. The ZnO films were treated using TiCl4. The cell’s efficiency was found to be 2.5% with TiCl4 post-treatment and 1.9% without TiCl4 post-treatment.

Bahasa Abstract

Peningkatan Kinerja DSC Berbasis ZnO yang Dihasilkan dengan Metode Semprot. Makalah ini membahas efek TiCl4 pada kinerja DSC berbasis ZnO. ZnO dimanfaatkan karena stabilitasnya ketika berhadapan dengan korosi-cahaya (photo-corrosion) dan elemen-elemen fotokimiawi yang serupa dengan TiO2. Saput-saput tipis ZnO nanokristalin ditumpuk pada kaca oksida-konduksi transparan menggunakan metode semprot. Saput-saput ZnO itu diproses dengan TiCl4. Terbukti bahwa sel-sel itu memiliki efisiensi sebesar 2,5% dengan proses akhir TiCl4 dan 1,9% tanpa proses akhir TiCl4.
