Low temperature sintered TiO2 porous layer
From Hackteria Wiki
Why
Conventionally it requires 450˚C to 500˚C to sinter the TiO2 porous layer which functioning as the photo-electrode in dye sensitized solar cell, it eliminates the participation of textile or plastic substrates due to its low heat resistance.
UV exposure with 150˚C sintering
HCL additive in TiO2 paste
