Pristine SnO2 nanostructures typically result in low open circuit voltage (VOC) <500 mV due to the lower Fermi energy (EF) when employed as a photoanode materials in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). On the other hand, the most successful photoanode material, i.e., TiO2 nanoparticle although pr...
