Electrochemical Self-Assembly of Dye-Modified Zinc Oxide Thin Films

Abstract

One-step electrochemical self-assembly is an excellent new method for the construction of hybrid inorganic/organic films for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The promising oxide semiconductor zinc oxide can be electrodeposited in the presence of organic dye molecules to give porous thin films with varying morphology suitable for DSSCs (the Figure shows a ZnO film grown in the presence of a tetrasulfophthalocyanine).
