Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs), using solid-state hole transporting materials (HTM) as alternatives for dye generation and hole transport, have received immense attention because such photovoltaic devices avoid the leakage and corrosion problems in conventional DSSCs. In particular, ssDSSCs based on TiO2 and organic HTM are of great interest due to the combined advantages of both organic and inorganic components. We investigate this kind of solar cells fabricated using mesoporous titania films as electron transporting materials, a metal-free dye D149 as a light harvester, and P3HT as HTM. For optimizing the device performance, we introduce crystalline titania nanoparticles into the titania film in order to obtain a more effective titania photoanode. Moreover, spray coating is employed for the film deposition because it is simple, low cost, and usable for large-scale production. The morphology and crystallinity of titania films are investigated, showing a crucial influence on final device performance.
