Atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique is used to coat the organic nanonetwork template with TiO2and ZnO. ALD method enables uniform and conformal coatings with precisely controlled TiO2 and ZnO thickness. The resulting semiconducting metal oxide nanonetworks are utilized as anodic materials in dye‐sensitized solar cells. Effect of metal oxide layer thickness on device performance is studied. The devices based on thin TiO2 coatings (<10 nm) demonstrate considerable dependence on material thickness, whereas thicker (>17 nm) ZnO‐based devices do not show an explicit correlation.EnglishAtomic layer depositionMetal oxide semiconductorsNanofibersNanomaterialsPeptidesSelf-assemblyAnodic oxidationCoatingsDepositionDye-sensitized solar cellsMetallic compoundsMetalsMOS devicesNanofibersNanostructured materialsNanotechnologyOxide semiconductorsPeptidesSelf assemblyTitanium dioxideZinc oxideZinc sulfideConformal coatingsDevice performanceMaterial thicknessMetal oxide layersMetal oxide semiconductorPeptide amphiphilesSelf-assembled peptidesSemi-conducting metal oxidesAtomic layer depositionArticle10.1002/pssa.2016005111862-6319
