We report on improvement in the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) through a fluorine (F)-doped TiO2 dense layer for use as a blocking layer. The F-doped TiO2 layer was deposited on commercial F-doped SnO2 (FTO) substrate by the hydrolysis of a TiCl4 aqueous solution with NH4F. Their structural, morphological, and optical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-vis spectroscopy examinations. The photocurrent density-voltage characteristics show that DSSCs fabricated with the F-doped TiO2 layer exhibits higher conversion efficiency (similar to 5.24%) than ones with the undoped TiO2 layer (similar to 4.76%), and the bare FTO substrate (similar to 3.88%). This improvement is attributed to the combined effects of reduced interfacial resistance and effective blocking behavior by the F-doped TiO2 dense layer. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
