Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrolization method and the effects of zinc nitrate concentration and reaction temperature on the resulted particle properties were studied. The transmission of the as-prepared and calcined films and their optical band gaps are measured and calculated respectively. Furthermore, as an application of the ZnO nanoparticles film, dye-sensitized solar cells based on it were successfully fabricated and the cell performances were characterized. The short circuit current for ZnO nanoparticles film DSSCs is 1.35 mA cm−2, which indicates good value of the prepared film using this technique.
