t has been attempted to utilize plastic substrates for electrodes, instead of conventional glass substrates, to fabricate flexible, lightweight, and low-cost dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We examined a pyrolysis method by which preformed layered hydroxide zinc acetate (LHZA: Zn5(OH)8(CH3COO)2·2H2O) films were converted into ZnO films at temperatures below 120 oC. Since the pyrolyzed films still contained zinc acetate compounds, they were immersed in hot water aiming at removing such the impurities. This hot water treatment influenced the film morphology to a large extent. The energy conversion efficiency of 3.41% was obtained for the cell using an N719/ZnO electrode fabricated on an indium tin oxide-coated polyethylene naphthalate (ITO-PEN) substrate through the present pyrolysis method.

In order to improve the interconnection of TiO 2 photoelectrode for the flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with plastic substrates, thin TiO 2 layers are additionally introduced to the surface of main TiO 2 nanoparticles by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at low temperature. The ALD-induced TiO 2 thin layers on porous films effectively reduced the internal electrical resistance, leading to the facilitated electron transport in DSSCs. As a result, DSSCs with ALD-induced TiO 2 thin layers (thickness of ~ 1.5 nm) showed better power conversion efficiency of 3.09%, which is 33% enhancement compared with that without ALD-induced TiO 2 thin layers (2.32%).
