SK M

Hi Doro

thanks for the reply. i do sinter the TiO2 film with FTO at 500oC and then cool for sensitising.

Yes. i need to workout the quantity of dye for the mono-layer sensitisation.

You can also try the Lagmuir deposition techiques: Langmuir-Schaefer and Langmuir-Blodgett. You can trasfer monomolecular layer of chosen dye from air watter interface. You also have very good cotrol of area per molecule. See below links:
