Abstract

A flexible Ti—In—Zn—O transparent electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell includes a flexible transparent substrate, and a Ti—In—Zn—O thin-film on the flexible transparent substrate. The Ti—In—Zn—O thin-film has an amorphous structure. The flexible transparent electrode, despite being deposited at room or low temperature, has low surface resistance, high conductivity and transmittance, superior resistance against external bending, improved surface characteristics and better surface roughness performance.
