Designing of Sr-doped ZnO Nanoparticles onto FTO Glass for Photovoltaic Application

Abstract
ZnO nanoparticles are regularly studied for optoelectronic devices. By doping, the structural, optical, electrical and magnetic characteristics of the materials are changed. Some nanoparticles, e.g. Al, Ga, Co doped with ZnO have been extensively used. Even so, few Sr-doped ZnO nanoparticles have been reported so far. In the first part of this work, Sr-doped Zinc Oxides nanoparticles have been synthesized by sol gel process. In the next part of this project, the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been fabricated. They have been analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible Spectrophotometry respectively, for their structural and optical properties. The functional groups and chemical bonding of ZnO have been substituted by Sr ions by Fourier transform infrared. The particles of varying sizes and shapes were seen in the micrographs. The measurements of photoluminescence indicate a change of 380 to 384 nm for doped and co-doped samples at close-band rims of UV emissions. To decrease the inherent defects in the ZnO structure, the Zn replaced by Sr ions. This has also been observed that there is a saturation benefit of the Sr-doping concentration in ZnO nanoparticles for our primed solar system regardless of the marginally soluble nature of strontium in ethanol. Undoped and Sr2+ doped DSSCs have been used for generating ZnO-based photographic anodes. The charge characteristics of prepared DSSCs have been used in electrochemical impedance spectroscopic experiments.
