Effect of Gold Nanoparticle Distribution in TiO2 on the Optical and Electrical Characteristics of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract Photoanodes comprising Au nanoparticles (GNPs) and thin TiO2 layers with a stacked structure were fabricated by repeating the application of TiO2 paste and GNP solutions on conductive glass to vary the distribution of GNPs in the TiO2 layer. The plasmon-enhanced characteristics of dye-sensi...
