Abstract :
We present a novel structure of the ZnO thin-film with high haze value. The thin-film was composed by appropriate amount of ZnO nanoparticle, ZnO hollow nanoparticle and ZnO sol-gel annealed at 500°C for 1 h. Therefore, the ZnO and ZnO hollow nanoparticle can be well-bounded in the ZnO thin-film. In this experiment, the haze of novel ZnO thin films are over 80% in visible range. It will be used for the thin-film solar cell.
