Basic Information

Chemical Composition	Zirconium dioxide particles in organic coating vehicles.
Fabrication Properties	Porous electrically insulating oxide layers with low dye uptake or perovskite-compatible mesoporosity, depending on particle-size distribution.
Form	Paste or coating formulation
Particle Size	20–40 nm; one screen-printing grade also contains approximately 5 µm particles.
Thickness	Slot-die grade typically yields a 500 nm fired layer; screen-printed layers can be reduced to approximately 1 µm for nanoparticle-only grades.
Concentration (wt.%)	Approximately 6.75, 18 or 30, depending on formulation.
Product Variants	Opaque porous screen-printing formulation for dye solar cells: ~30 wt.%, 20–40 nm particles mixed with ~5 µm particles; nanoparticle screen-printing formulation for monolithic perovskite solar cells: ~18 wt.%, 20–40 nm particles; slot-die mesoporous insulation formulation: ~6.75 wt.%, 20–40 nm particles.
Deposition Method	Screen printing; slot-die coating.
Vehicle / Solvent	Terpineol and organic binders; slot-die grade additionally contains alcohols.
Processing Conditions	Firing at 500 °C. Slot-die coating at 0.5 m/min and 0.2 mL/min typically followed by firing at 500 °C for 45 min.
Resulting Layer	Opaque white porous insulation layer or thin mesoporous zirconia layer with electrical insulation and electrolyte/perovskite penetration.

Applications

Insulating layers in monolithic dye-sensitized solar cells; mesoporous insulation layers in monolithic perovskite solar cells; printed multilayer photovoltaic stacks.
