Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are known as 3rd generation solar cells. One of the most important parameters affecting the performance of DSSCs is the thin film thickness that forms the photoanode layer. In this study, we examined how 38, 60 and 76 µm thick TiO2 thin films change dye-sensitized solar cell performance. The highest efficiency (4.73%) was seen in the solar cell with 38 µm thin film thickness. In addition, the mineralogical and morphological analyses of the produced TiO2 nanopowders were performed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analyses showed that TiO2 was in the anatase crystal phase. SEM photographs confirmed the formation of microspheres in close contact with each other.
