X-ray diffraction study shows the wurtzite structure of ZnO with high crystallinity. Intensity and newly evolved peaks of the ZnO are found to be thickness dependent. Dye loving flower-like globular architecture of ZnO is observed after 8 μm thickness. Dye-sensitized solar cell studies show the solar-to-electrical conversion efficiency of 2.21% for 11 μm ZnO electrode when illuminated with 80 mW/cm2. ？ 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
