Abstract
In this study, one-step hydrothermal method is demonstrated to synthesis TiO2 double-layer structure by modifying the concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis suggested that the dominant peak is rutile phase. Interesting morphologies such as cauliflower, chrysanthemum flower or dandelionstructures over the nanorods layer were revealed by FE-SEM images and showed substantial effects to the thin film performance. UV-vis absorption spectra of prepared TiO2 film is in UV limitation with band gap energy (Eg) range from 2.57eV to 3.0eV. The optimum photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSSC is 42.5% that exhibited the efficiency of 6.41% for the sample synthesized using equal proportion of de-ionized water and HCl amount or in another word in accordance of ratio 1:1. These results serve as a guidance principle for preparing high quality DSSC thin film.
