Design and development of zno morphologies for enhanced photovoltaic characteristics synthesis characterization and fabrication of photoanodes for semiconductor quantum dot dye sensitized solar cells

Abstract

Morphology dependency of photovoltaic properties in terms of charge transport and efficacy in light harnessing ability has been studied in the presented thesis Environmentally benign structure directing chemicals which are commonly available in the laboratory are employed to generate superstructures of ZnO with favorable optical and charge transport properties and evaluated their solar to current conversion efficiencies Particularly interesting results are development of novel morphologies wit
