Mineral fiber based TiO2 photo-electrode in DSSC

First attempt of sinter TiO2 porous layer on mineral fabric

Here the TiO2 is coated onto a mineral woven fabric by doctor-blade method. The TiO2 paste 18NR-AO was purchased from Greatcell Solar, and the FILAVA mineral woven fabric was purchased from Isomatex S.A. The coated TiO2 layer was fired with conventional kitchen electric stove, the temperature was set to 8, which is proximately measured 400 to 440 celsius with temperature gun. The sintered TiO2 layer was then soak into annatto dyes for ~5 hours. The woven FILAVA fabricc turned golden color.
