Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC) has aroused intense interest owing to its competitive price and stabilized properties than Si based solar cells. Recently, many studies have been reported on the DSSC, especially development of a transparent conductive oxide-less dye-sensitized solar cell(TCO-less DSSC). In this paper, a thick and porous Ti electrode for low cost DSSC developed its properties. To estimate the Ti electrode, the films are tested FESEM and J-V evaluation method. An increase in Ti thickness from 50 nm to 200 nm mainly affects the fill factor without noticeably changing the photocurrent density. It was confirmed that optimal DSSC efficiency was obtained at Ti 150 nm.
