Abstract
Atomic layer deposition, ALD, was used to fabricate novel high surface area ZnO photoanodes for use in dye sensitized solar cells, DSSCs. Photovoltaic performance was monitored as a function of the semiconductor thickness deposited. Excellent overall efficiencies and the highest reported open circuit potentials were found for ZnO DSSCs. ALD was also used to coat alumina barrier layers on ZnO nanorod electrodes in DSSCs. The conformal thin layer of alumina was found to reduce recombination reactions without significant reduction in current.
