The objective of the present work is to pursue and characterize the physical properties of inorganic transparent conducting oxide thin layer films made by spin-coating technique/spray pyrolysis technique and compare these properties with other sensitizing agents. It isexpected that this method will lead to the development of a new platform for the contribution of inorganic TCOs’ physical properties. I also hope that this technique will be helpful to enhance the efficiency and potency of solar cells and other optoelectronic devices.
