It has been shown that x = 5% of zirconium content, an increased V OC has been achieved [129, 131]. They have studied the influence of electrical properties of Ti 1 − x Zr x O 2 on the photovoltaic properties of the DSSC. By increasing zirconium content, a monotone increase in lattice constant and hence increase in V OC were observed.
The study proposed that the photoluminescence mechanism was originated from the emission of a recombination center related to oxygen vacancies formed during anodization of zirconium. Simka et al. reported anodic oxidation of zirconium. A solution containing KOH and K 2 SiO 3 was used for oxidation process.
Meosoporous zirconia-based dye-sensitized solar cells can change the overall scenario if conversion efficiency is enhanced. Photovoltaic devices are economical and clean sources of energy, and hence, they are studied on large scale.
The deposition techniques reported by various research groups discussed here are very much practical. The use of ZrO 2 film as a photoanode is not yet reported, but mesoporous zirconia films are being used in different manners in enhancing the quantum efficiency of TiO 2 -based dye-sensitized solar cells.
