Coating, Titanium Dioxide and Solar Cell

Abstract

The objective of this bachelor’s thesis is to get basic ideas about coating and a deep understanding of properties of titanium dioxide pigments as well as their application and performance in solar electricity energy technology. This thesis consists of three main parts, eight chapters.

The first part is about basic knowledge of coating and tests of coated paper. Coating pigments are generally introduced in the part.

In the second part, coating additives are introduced in details from two aspects – optical brightening agents and titanium dioxide. Especially properties of titanium dioxide are introduced here.

The last part is about the solar cell. The key point for this part is about the new type of solar cell which is based on dye-sensitized nanocrystalline titanium dioxide.
