Description
CsSnI${}_{1-x}$F${}_x$ doped ZnO were synthesized and used as the hole conducting in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The aim of this work is to study the effect of ZnO on the solid-stat DSC performances. CsSnI${}_3$ powders were prepared by heating a stoichiometric mixture of CsI (0.1 g) and SnI${}_2$ (0.07 g) at 450 ${}^{\circ}$C for 30 min in argon environment. CsSnI${}_{1-x}$F${}_x$ solution were prepared by mixing 0.1 g of CsSnI${}_3$ powder and 0.005 g of SnF${}_2$ into 3 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide and acetonitrile. CsSnI${}_{1-x}$F${}_x$ doped ZnO were prepared by adding ZnO (0.005 - 0.025 g) into the 3 ml CsSnI${}_3$ solution. The energy conversion efficiency of CsSnI${}_{1-x}$F${}_x$ doped ZnO solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (SSDSCs) were evaluated by a solar simulator (PEC-L11) under a light intensity of 100 mW/cm${}^2$. The efficiency of CsSnI${}_{1-x}$F${}_x$ doped ZnO SSDSCs are about 2.24%, 2.68%, 2.91%, 3.09%, 2.88% and 2.66% for 0.0 g (undoped ZnO), 0.005 g, 0.010 g, 0.015 g, 0.020 g and 0.025 g of ZnO, respectively. The detail effect of ZnO nanoparticles with the average size of 30 nm on the SSDSCs performance will be characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy.
