Performances of dye-sensitized solar cells prepared from nanoporous TiO2 films with different TiO2 nanoparticle preparation methods and different annealing temperatures are studied with various film thicknesses. The results show that the solar cells prepared at higher annealing temperatures have higher energy conversion efficiencies. Regarding film thickness, thin film electrode solar cells annealed at low-temperature show comparable efficiencies with those of the cells annealed at high temperature. The difference of the efficiency between the cells with the film annealed at different temperatures increases with the film thickness. To explain the observations, the surface area of the films, the amount of the adsorbed dye, and the diffusion coefficient and lifetime of electrons are measured. The amount of adsorbed dye per unit area is found to be independent of annealing temperature, while the diffusion coefficient and lifetime increase with the temperature. With trapping models, the measured increases of ...
