Single crystalline zinc stannate (Zn(2)SnO(4) and ZnSnO(3)) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal reaction with a high production yield. Zn(2)SnO(4) is a (111) face-exposed octahedron, whereas ZnSnO(3) is a (100) face-exposed hexahedron structure. In particular, Zn(2)SnO(4) exhibits an efficient performance for applications in dye-sensitized solar cells.

TLDR
The reverse trend observed for the open-circuit voltage in certain DSC electrolytes is explained in terms of the higher rates of electron-triiodide recombination of TiO(2) despite the lower position of the Zn( 2)SnO(4) CB in the vacuum scale.
