We propose a novel method to pattern the charge recombination layer (CRL) with a low-temperature solution-processable ZnO layer (under 150 °C) for organic solar cell applications. Due to the optimal drying process and thermal annealing condition, ZnO sol-gel particles formed a three-Dimensional (3D) structure without using a high temperature or ramping method. The generated 3D nano-ripple pattern showed a height of around 120 nm, and a valley-to-valley distance of about 500 nm. Based on this newly developed ZnO nano-ripple patterning technique, it was possible to pattern the CRL without damaging the underneath layers in tandem structure. The use of nano-ripple patterned ZnO as the part of CRL, led to the concomitant improvement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of about 30%, compared with non-patterned CRL device.

This paper reports the rapid synthesis, characterization, and photovoltaic and sensing applications of TiO2 nanoflowers prepared by a facile low-temperature solution process. The morphological characterizations clearly reveal the high-density growth of a three-dimensional flower-shaped structure composed of small petal-like rods. The detailed properties confirmed that the synthesized nanoflowers exhibited high crystallinity with anatase phase and possessed an energy bandgap of 3.2 eV. The synthesized TiO2 nanoflowers were utilized as photo-anode and electron-mediating materials to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and liquid nitroaniline sensor applications. The fabricated DSSC demonstrated a moderate conversion efficiency of ~3.64% with a maximum incident photon to current efficiency (IPCE) of ~41% at 540 nm. The fabricated liquid nitroaniline sensor demonstrated a good sensitivity of ~268.9 μA mM−1 cm−2 with a low detection limit of 1.05 mM in a short response time of 10 s.
