Tin oxide based dye sensitized solar cells by Teh, Jun Jie

“…Even though Ga-doping wasn’t found any changes in morphology and crystallinity, however it successfully increased the band edge of SnO2, in which it is capable of suppressing photoelectron backflow and achieving a higher open circuit voltage (Voc ~ 0.74 V). To the best of our known, this high Voc is the highest among SnO2 based electrodes without TiO2 knowledge. …”
