Abstract

The dye coloring process on a nano-porous TiO₂ thin film for DSSCs was studied using an electrostatic spraying (ESS) method. In this study, dye coating experiments were performed using homemade ESS equipment. The coating patterns on the TiO₂ thin film are changed by adjusting the applied voltages of the ESS system. The geometry of the coating patterns is observed by a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The TiO₂ thin film is fabricated by controlling the electric field which allows a uniform color distribution to be obtained with a high dyeing capacity. The colored TiO₂ thin films are compared with those obtained using a conventional immersed dye solution by means of an UV-vis spectrometer. The performance of this novel coloring process was confirmed by measuring I-V curve characteristics.
