    The effect of a nontoxic chloride treatment on the crystallinity and optoelectrical characteristics of a CdSe thin film was studied. A detailed comparative analysis was conducted utilizing four molarities (0.01 M, 0.10 M, 0.15 M, and 0.20 M) of indium (III) chloride (InCl₃), where the results showed a notable improvement in CdSe properties. The crystallite size of treated CdSe samples increased from 31.845 nm to 38.819 nm, and the strain in treated films dropped from 4.9 × 10−³ to 4.0 × 10−³, according to XRD measurements. The highest crystallinity resulted from the 0.10 M InCl₃-treated CdSe films. The In contents in the prepared samples were verified by compositional analysis, and FESEM images from treated CdSe thin films demonstrated compact and optimal grain arrangements with passivated grain boundaries, which are required for the development of a robust operational solar cell. The UV-Vis plot, similarly, showed that the samples were darkened after treatment and the band gap of 1.7 eV for the as-grown samples fell to roughly 1.5 eV. Furthermore, the Hall effect results suggested that the carrier concentration increased by one order of magnitude for samples treated with 0.10 M of InCl₃, but the resistivity remained in the order of 103 ohm/cm², suggesting that the indium treatment had no considerable effect on resistivity. Hence, despite the deficit in the optical results, samples treated at 0.10 M InCl₃ showed promising characteristics as well as the viability of treatment with 0.10 M InCl₃ as an alternative to standard CdCl₂ treatment.

    Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have attracted much attention over the past 20 years due to their significance in energy conversion. However, the dye soaking time may significantly impact the efficacy of the photoanode semiconductor to carry the electronic charge to which the dye molecules adhere. An optimized dye soaking time may prevent the recombination of photo-excited electrons that are injected into the semiconductor of the DSSC. This study scrutinized the dependence of the zinc oxide (ZnO) photoanode soaking time of Spinacia oleracea (spinach) dye on the photocurrent-voltage characteristics. The ZnO film layer (photoanode) was prepared with commercial ZnO nanopowder and applied onto a fluorinedoped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate using the doctor blade method. The prepared DSSCs’ were subjected to a variety of characterizations, including current density-voltage (J-V) characterization, UV-visible characterization, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Xray diffraction (XRD). Comparing four variations of dye soaking time, ZnO-based DSSC photoanode soaked in the dye for an hour achieved an optimum efficiency of 0.03 %. This study proved that the efficiency of a DSSC can be improved by optimizing the dye soaking time.

    Due to their low output costs, straightforward manufacturing, and high effectiveness, dyesensitized solar cell (DSSC) has a large following interest in the solar energy industry. Furthermore, due to its outstanding properties, tin oxide (SnO₂) is an appealing semiconducting material suitable as a photoanode in DSSCs. In this research, the photoelectrodes of DSSC were fabricated using commercial SnO₂ nanoparticles and sensitized with inorganic and organic dyes, N719 and Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract dye. On top of that, a platinum (Pt) counter electrode, iodide electrolyte and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate were used to fabricate the DSSC. The crystallographic structure and surface morphology of the SnO₂ nanopowder were identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations respectively. In addition, UV-Visible and current density-voltage curves were used to analyze the optical properties of the photoanodes and the cell’s electrical performance. As a result, it was found that the DSSC fabricated with N719 dye exhibited higher efficiency in contrast with the turmeric extract dye with SnO₂ photoanodes.
