Colloids for Inkjet Printing of Highly Photoactive Thin Films

Creating of photovoltaic cells with high conversion of solar light – promising trend in the field of solar energy. In this paper, we proposed the use of inkjet printing technology of photoactive films based on MOFentrapped and pure TiO2 thin films. For this application we develop a unique low temperature sol-gel synthesis using physically activated sol of crystalline phases based on the titanium dioxide produced in the process of co-crystallisation with MOF. It is shown that the developed technology and materials not only provide point positioning photovoltaic layers with high efficiency, but also to promote self-cleaning properties, exhibiting photocatalytic properties
