  • Title: Synthesis and photovoltaic property of fine and uniform Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles.
    Author: Kim DW, Shin SS, Cho IS, Lee S, Kim DH, Lee CW, Jung HS, Hong KS.
    Journal: Nanoscale; 2012 Jan 21; 4(2):557-62. PubMed ID: 22127433.
    Abstract:
    Zn(2)SnO(4) nanoparticles (NPs) with a narrow size distribution were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal route by controlling the crystallization process. The average size of NPs was 8 nm, and this was attributed to the formation of a hydroxy carbonate compound as an intermediate phase, which was demonstrated by the structural and elemental analyses. The fine size and visible-transparency of the synthesized NPs enabled the fabrication of transparent films for efficient photoelectrochemical devices. In particular, we demonstrated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) employing these transparent Zn(2)SnO(4) photoelectrodes with a high energy conversion efficiency of 4.7%, which is mainly due to an improvement of light harvesting property.
