SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATIONS OF ZnO AND ZnO/CNT NANOCOMPOSITES FOR APPLICATION IN SOLAR CELL
ABSTRACT Low power conversion efficiency resulting from recombination of photogenerated charges in TiO2 based photovoltaic devices has caused serious challenges in photoelectrode efficiency of such devices. Hence the need to replace TiO2 with ZnO and the composite of Zinc Oxide and Carbon Nanotube (ZnO/CNT) at optimised ratio to minimise the loss of photogenerated electrons during the photovoltaic activity is important. Hydrothermal synthesis was used to synthesis nanostructured ZnO and ZnO/CNT ...
