    • The photovoltaic (PV) solar cells consisting of titania thin films sandwiched between a transparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO) conductor and reflecting silver metallic film were studied. The synthesis of nanocrystalline TiO2 and ITO powders are presented. The thin films of TiO2 and ITO were deposited by spin-coating method and densified by applied isostatic pressure. The PV properties of such fabricated heterojunctions were investigated.
