Solar cell application via Metal oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

This review explains types of metal oxide nanoparticles which are used with solar cell application such as Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticle (Al2O3 NPs), Titanium dioxide Nanoparticle (TiO2 NPs), Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs), copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The researchers could create above metal oxide nanoparticles of nanoscience via nanotechnology so we would mention that types of metal oxide nanoparticles with solar cell application. The physical properties of the metal oxide would change after fragmentation from metal plate by using laser ablation, Sol-Gel technology or electrochemical. On the other way, the meta salt could oxidize by using chemical reaction methods such as microwave, sonication bath, thermal methods or mechanical methods. Other properties of metal oxide nanoparticles such as Chemical, mechanical, electronic, optical and thermal give the scientists big area to use them with solar cell application to make different things in our life. The solar cell is clean technology to convert the sun energy to electric energy without any side effect such as toxic gas, waste product…etc. The researchers develop this application via adding many different types of dyes to the cell to get high efficiency.
