Abstract

In this work, nanocrystalline TiO2 powder was prepared by the sol-gel method via tetrabutyl titanate as raw material, non-ion surfactant TO8 as a template. Then the nanocrystalline TiO2 thin film electrodes which were coated on FTO glass substrates via the slurry consiting of TiO2 powder prepared by us and the trabutyl titanate precursor were successfully prepared by using a simple and convenient hydrothermal method at low temperature. The structure and morphology of powders and films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electric microscopy. The influence factors on the samples were discussed. The photoelectric properties of cells assembled by the films were measured. The results show that, at 25°C and under 1000W/m2 light intensity,open voltage is 708mV, Jsc is 14.648mA/cm2, fill factor is 53.788, the conversion efficiency is 5.5988%.
