Highly homogeneous crystalline TiO2thin films with very low surface roughness were prepared by spin-coating of a TiO2nanoparticle aqueous dispersion at room temperature without further heat treatment. Using these films as electron transporting layers, inverted structure hybrid photovoltaic cells (TiO2/P3HT) and light-emitting diodes (TiO2/F8BT) were demonstrated. The photovoltaic cells exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of 0.26%, which is similar to that of cells utilizing TiO2layers sintered at high temperatures. Moreover, the light-emitting diodes showed an efficiency of 0.65cd/A, which is higher than obtained from a reference inverted diode (0.1cd/A). These measurements demonstrate that a properly designed nanoparticle casting route can help avoid high temperature crystallization or sintering steps for TiO2thin films, paving the road for their use in conjunction with plastic substrates.
