Recombination reactions due to poor inter-particle contact at lower temperatures (< 450 °C) is a bottle neck for cost effective flexible dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this study, TiO2sintering to Coble initial stage at low temperatures has been achieved with low melting point zinc (Zn) m...
