Abstract

TiO2 nanocrystal is prepared by a repetitious hydrothermal crystallization method. Based on the TiO2 nanocrystal, a flexible photoanode film and flexible dye-sensitized solar cell are assembled at low temperatures. The influences of agglutinant, low temperature treatment, and UV irradiation on the photoelectric properties of the flexible cells are investigated. The dye-sensitized solar cells using FTO/glass and ITO/PEN as substrates achieve light-to-electric energy conversion efficiencies of 4.47 and 2.92%, respectively.
