Abstract
We fabricated solid state dye-sensitized solar cells with ZnO nanorods as the n-type material and polypyrrole as the p-type material. The ZnO nanorods were grown on indium-tin oxide (ITO) glass by electrochemical methods for one hour. Scanning electron micrographs of the ZnO nanowire (NW) indicated a length of about 1 micrometer and a diameter of approximately 100-200 nm for the nanorods. Polypyrrole deposited on ITO/ZnO NW/dye and the fabricated device of ITO glass/ZnO nanorods/dye/polypyrrole/Ag showed a power conversion efficiency of 1.29%.
