Abstract
Present study reports dye sensitized solar cell composed of novel ZnO/Zn2SnO4 core shell photoanode using core as ZnO nanorods and shell as Zn2SnO4 microcubes. ZnO/Zn2SnO4 core shell photoanode in dye sensitized solar cell display a drastic improvement in the photovoltaic performance exhibiting conversion efficiency of around 3.36% in comparison to bare ZnO nanorods. The proposed growth mechanism of core shell exhibits that formation of Zn2SnO4 microcubes on ZnO nanorodes takes place when zinc hydroxystannate complexes self aggregate to cubic zinc stannate as precursor temperature rises above 350 °C.
