Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Miami University, Paper Science and Engineering.
This thesis focuses on four different aspects. 1) Use hybrid TiO2 electrode instead of doctor bladed TiO2 for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and observed an increase in efficiency from 1.6% to 2.11%. 2) We investigated the post annealing treatment on the CdS sensitized ZnO and TiO2 nanocrystalline solar cells. It was found that the annealing will increase the cell efficiency on ZnO and TiO2 with porous structures. 3) We studied the degradation mechanism using damp heat based on ZnO and Al:ZnO. We found that the Al dopant would enhance the moisture capture ability in ZnO, causing degradation under damp heat and annealing treatment.4) we have compared the differences between Zn1-xMgxO and Al: Zn1-xMgxO and concluded that the existing of Al in the film would vary the film performance.
