Comparison of electron injection and recombination on TiO2 nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods photosensitized by phthalocyanine

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductors have similar band gap positions but TiO2 performs better as an anode material in dye-sensitized solar cell applications. We compared two electrodes made of TiO2 nanoparticles and ZnO nanorods sensitized by an aggregation-protected phthalocy...
