Abstract:
Highly crystalline BaSnO3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a facile water bath method, and were characterized with XRD, SEM and TEM. A double-treatment method (chemical-bath deposition method and TiCl4 treatment method) was first applied to improve the performance of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on BaSnO3 photoanode film. EIS, OCVD, and IMPS/IMVS results suggested that the enhanced electron transport rate and prolonged electron lifetime lead to a dramatically improve photovoltaic efficiency of cells in response to CBD and TiCl4 treatment. Consequently, an enhancement of 21.7% and 32.0% was obtained after CBD surface treatment and further TiCl4 treatment in comparison to cells without treatment, respectively. The highest efficiency of 5.18% was finally obtained after optimizing all conditions. (c) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
