Effect of dispersing media on microstructure of electrophoretically deposited TiO2 nanoparticles in dye-sensitized solar cells

► Electrophoretic deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles avoiding crack formation. ► Microstructure studying of deposited layers in acetone and isopropanol using AFM & SEM. ► Fabrication of DSSCs whose photoelectrodes were deposited in acetone & isopropanol. ► Investigating the effect of microstructure on solar cells performance.
