Abstract

Oxide materials such as titanium dioxide and complex oxides of zinc, titanium, bismuth, and silicon are photoactive materials, and therefore, it is promising to use them for solar cells manufacturing. In order to start the commercial production of oxide film electrodes, it is necessary to develop the technology permitting the covering of large areas. In the presented work, it is shown how it is possible to obtain the films of TiO2 and of ZnTiO3 sensitized by ruthenium oxides deposited onto glass substrates using the extraction pyrolytic method.
