Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap material (~3.37 eV) which has small exciton Bohr radius ~2.34 nm. In dye-sensitized solar cell, ZnO thin film is used as photoelectrode. Light-sensitive organic/ inorganic fluorophores could be adsorbed on the surface of the ZnO film, which later will be sandwiche...
