Resumo
The selective laser sintering of TiO2-film nanoparticles on a plastic conductive substrate is considered for application in flexible dye-sensitized solar cells. It is shown that the absorbed energy of the laser radiation during laser sintering promotes electrical-contact formation between TiO2 nanoparticles without damaging the plastic conductive substrate. The choice of a near-infrared laser radiation (wavelength of 1064 nm) provides an efficient laser-sintering process. The laser-sintering method promotes a decrease in recombination losses in the TiO2 film and an improvement in the charge-collection efficiency, which can result in an increase in the efficiency of such solar cells. Furthermore, the efficient-laser sintering method has a great potential for application in the roll-to-roll technology of the fabrication of high-efficiency flexible solar cells.
