Abstract:
Tin oxide is a promising candidate for the replacement of titanium dioxide in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), due to its excellent electron transport properties. The performance of TiO 2 ‐based DSSCs can be improved either by modifying the morphology of SnO 2 nanostructures, or by doping. Here, we investigate the influence of different dopants (Mg, Zn, and Ag) to SnO 2 anode on the DSSC performance. We found that the addition of the dopant affects not only the electron lifetime, but also the dye adsorption as well. The best performance was obtained for zinc doped SnO 2 anodes, with the power conversion efficiency of 3.4%.
