Abstract

Heterojunctions were constructed, consisting of a 50 nm thick sol-gel derived titanium dioxide (TiO₂) layer and a 500 nm thick thermally evaporated chloroaluminium phthalocyanine (ClAlPc) film sandwiched between an indium tin oxide (ITO) base and a gold counter electrode. It is found from short circuit current measurements that TiO₂ films can be sensitised to wavelengths outside their intrinsic sensitivity by using phthalocyanine dyes. Photoelectrical measurements were performed on the devices using a solar simulator at six different intensities varying from 0.18 to 2.0 mW/cm². The overall conversion efficiency of the cells was found to reach maximum at the intensity of light of 1.12 mW/cm² from the solar simulator.
