Effect of the thickness of quasi one-dimensional zinc oxide nanorods synthesized via multiple growth process under ammonia assisted hydrolysis technique on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell

Vertical array quasi ZnO nanorods is synthesized on FTO coated glass substrate via a one-dimensional crystal growth of attached-nanoseeds in an aqueous solution containing zinc acetate and ammonia at room-temperature. The growth processes are carried out at five different cycle growth process (one t...
