Abstract

The purpose of this study is to prepare high-quality TiO₂ thin films suitable for dye-sensitized solar cells using the electrophoresis method. A high-quality TiO₂ thin film without crack could be deposited by using highly dispersed colloidal solution of TiO₂ fine particles. Highly dispersed colloidal solution was prepared using mechanical milling (MM). Two electrodes of electrophoresis were set perpendicular or parallel to horizontal plane. Optimum preparing condition to disperse TiO₂ fine particles using MM could be found. Under this condition, homogeneous TiO₂ thin film was deposited on ITO glass. The open-electromotive force and short-circuit current of dye-sensitized solar cell show excellent reproducibility.
