Homocentrically grown SnO2 nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, whose diameter and length are around 20 nm and 100-200 nm, respectively. The photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitized SnO and MgO-treated SnO2 films were investigated. A light-to-electricity conversion yield of 0.8% was achieved by applying the nanorods as a thin film layer for the dye-sensitized solar cells. Treatment with MgO on SnO2 surface improves the photovoltage, fill factor and cell efficiency owing to preventing a recombination of the electrons injected into SnO with acceptors in the electrolyte.
