Popis: | Self-assembled TiO 2 foam-like films, were grown by the water based S treaming P rocess for E lectrodeless E lectrochemical D eposition (SPEED). The morphology of the ∼1 µm thick films consists of a tangled ropy structure with individual strands of ∼200 nm diameter and open pores of 0.1 to 3 micron dimensions. Such films are advantageous for proposed perovskite solar cell comprising CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 absorber with additional inorganic films as contact and conduction layers, all deposited by SPEED. Lateral film resistivity is in the range 20 – 200 kΩ-cm, increasing with growth temperature, while sheet resistance is in the range 2 – 20 x 10 8 Ω/Sq. X-ray diffraction confirms presence of TiO 2 crystals of orthorhombic class (Brookite). UV-vis spectroscopy shows high transmission below the expected 3.2 eV TiO 2 bandgap. Transmittance increases with growth temperature. |
