本研究成功地利用靜電逐層組裝技術在玻璃基板上製備20個雙層的TiO2奈米晶及聚電解質混成薄膜。由粒徑及界面電位的量測顯示，兩種不同組成的TiO2奈米晶(Alfa Aesar TiO2及Degussa P25)皆可以經由pH值的調控，使其帶不同的電性。此外，由QCM的量測也可進一步證實TiO2奈米晶和具相反電性的聚電解質進行交替逐層組裝的可行性。上述薄膜經高溫燒結後形成多孔性結構。其表面形態、剖面結構、表面粗糙度、表面積、孔徑分佈、孔隙度及色素負載等特性，經鑑定及分析後顯示，具有成為色素增感太陽電池TiO2光電極的潛力。但目前所遭遇的問題是，聚電解質在現行燒結條件下，並不能完全的去除，其殘留對於光電極的特性有顯著的影響。本研究除了進行靜電逐層組裝之外，也藉由旋轉塗佈及刮刀塗佈等傳統光電極製備方法進行相關的比較。結果顯示，利用靜電逐層組裝所製備的薄膜在膜厚和表面形態的均勻性上有較好的表現，但可能是由於聚電解質殘留的因素，在表面積、孔徑分佈及色素負載方面，仍有一些不確定的因素存在，所以還不能明確地顯現靜電逐層組裝的優越性。

　　In this study, electrostatic layer-by-layer (ELBL) deposition technique was successfully utilized to assemble 20 bilayers of polyelectrolyte and nanocrystalline TiO2 particles. Particle size and zeta potential measurements revealed that the charge of two kinds of nanocrystalline TiO2 (Alfa Aesar TiO2, Degussa P25) may be controlled by varying pH value of solution. Furthermore, the sequential buildup of polyelectrolyte and TiO2 nanocrystalline on glass substrate was evidenced by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurement. By analyzing surface morphology, cross-section structure, roughness, surface area, pore size distribution, porosity, and dye loading of the sintered nanocomposite films, ELBL assembly finds the potential for fabricating photoelectrode of DSSCs. A problematic issue, however, is that polyelectrolyte can not be completely removed. The residuals of polyelectrolyte left in the final TiO2 film seem to greatly affect the characteristics of the electrode. One of the purposes of this study is to reveal the difference in the feature of the mesoporous photoelectrodes resulting from this method and the conventional spin and doctor blade coating methods. The experimental results obtained so far show that thin films of more uniform thickness and surface morphology can be achieved by ELBL assembly. However, the results of surface area, pore size distribution, and dye loading were subjected to uncertainty. This may be due to the residuals of polyelectrolyte in the TiO2 films. Further studies are desirable to reveal the superiority of ELBL assembly in fabricating photoelectrodes.
