Abstract

Although this type of solar cell is still in the developmental stage, it has already garnered significant attention from the scientific community. This interest stems from the potential to produce energy devices in the future using cost-effective and environmentally friendly materials. A comprehensive set of materials required for conducting experimental observations was prepared. The study also examined the effect of ultrasonic treatment on the sample's photoanode and its influence on the performance of the fabricated photoelectric device.
