The preferred (002) orientation Zinc oxide ( ZnO ) nanocrystalline thin films have been deposited on ITO-coated glass substrates by means of sol-gel spin-coating technology and rapid thermal annealing for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The effects of annealing temperature (400 ~ 700 ° C ) on the microstructure and morphology of ZnO thin films were studied. With the increase of heating temperature from 400 °C to 700 °C, the grain size of ZnO thin films decreases from 80 to 10 nm. The decreases in grain size of ZnO thin films contributed to the improvement on the absorption of dye onto the films. The ITO/ZnO/RuL 2 (NCS) 2 electrodes with high absorption in the wide range containing visible light reveal that the nanoporous structure can adsorb easily the dye and can be expected in the application of DSSC.

This paper discussed the effect of different thermal evaporation treatments for nanocomposited MEH-PPV:CNTs thin films towards the performance of organic solar cells. The configuration of the organic solar cells is ITO/MEH-PPV:CNTs/Au. The heating temperature was varied from, as deposited,50°C,75°C, and100°C. From the results, we observed that the efficiency increase slightly before decreasing back at100°C. The highest efficiency was solar cells heated at75°C with efficiency 0.001% which is supported by theI-Vcharacteristics and also by the absorption spectra.

This paper proposes a measuring apparatus and method for simultaneous determination of the thermal expansion coefficient and biaxial Young’s modulus of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films. ITO thin films simultaneously coated on N-BK7 and S-TIM35 glass substrates were prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering deposition. The thermo-mechanical parameters of ITO thin films were investigated experimentally. Thermal stress in sputtered ITO films was evaluated by an improved Twyman–Green interferometer associated with wavelet transform at different temperatures. When the heating temperature increased from 30 °C to 100 °C, the tensile thermal stress of ITO thin films increased. The increase in substrate temperature led to the decrease of total residual stress deposited on two glass substrates. A linear relationship between the thermal stress and substrate heating temperature was found. The thermal expansion coefficient and biaxial Young’s modulus of the films were measured by the double substrate method. The results show that the out of plane thermal expansion coefficient and biaxial Young’s modulus of the ITO film were 5.81 × 10−6 °C−1 and 475 GPa.
