The effects of the particle size, film thickness and film porosity on the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the corresponding DSSC are discussed. Using a #200 stainless steel cloth screen with the squeegee printing speed of 11mm/s, the sintered working electrode film thickness is about 5~6μm. The DSSC using P90 TiO2 powders and alkyd resin for the preparation of the working electrode shows a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 1.6%. Using a stencil screen with the same squeegee printing speed, the sintered working electrode film thickness is between 15~16μm. The DSSC using P25 and P90 powders and alkyd resins for the preparation of the working electrode shows a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 3.4%.
