A low-temperature controllable chemical bath deposition (CBD) method was demonstrated to prepare ZnO nanorod arrays. Our deposition technique includes the seeding and subsequent main CBD growth. The uniform growth ZnO nanorod arrays on the condensed ZnO seeding layer could be controlled by changing the processing parameters. Experiment results reveal that the ZnO nanorod arrays prepared under 0.03-0.05 M concentration with reaction temperature of 95 °C demonstrate the well-aligned orientation and optimum optical properties with high aspect ratio of ~21. The n-ZnO/p-NiO heterojunction electrode shows excellent rectifying behavior with extremely low leakage current. After the sensitization with N719, it is found that the degree of orientation and aspect ratio value play critical roles in the photovoltaic properties of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (SS-DSSCs).

Using the low-temperature processing of different organofunctional silanes like TEOS, GPTS, and MPTS to incorporate within TiO2network, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) processed at low temperatures were obtained. The UV-cured MPTS-modified layer exhibited better performance over the TEOS and GPTS, where better mechanical stable layer is achieved in addition to better interconnection between the TiO2nanoparticles. TheJ-Vcharacteristics of the DSC composed of silane-based layer showed that the improved cell performance was due to the high photocurrent density accompanied with more dye adsorption and higher charge injection from TiO2to FTO substrate resulting from the formation of an ohmic contact with the substrate. The highest conversion efficiency attained for MPTS-TiO2layer cured with UV and followed by heating at 300∘C was3.75±0.07%, which is 2.8 times better than the GPTS-based layer.
