摘要
Thin films of fluorine-doped tin-oxide (FTO) were prepared by a sol gel process using the combination of SnCl2 center dot H2O, NH4F and isopropanol. The effects of annealing temperature on structural, electrical and optical properties of FTO were studied. It was found that films annealed at temperatures above 500 degrees C exhibit resistivity of around 30 Omega/sq with an optical transparency up to 90%, which is comparable with commercially available FTO coated glasses. A dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated with the optimized thin film and yielded power conversion efficiency similar to 1.58%. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
