Abstract

Hybrid solar cell (HSC) in a form of novel photovoltaic is considered among promising research topic due to its low cost’s preparation and environmental friendly solar cells. This paper concerns a systematic study on concentration of TiO2 and effect of coating techniques towards solar cells’s efficiency. However, this paper is limited to doctor blade and spin coating techniques only. These samples were then characterised based on morphology, thickness, optical absorption, electrical conductivity and solar cell’s efficiency using various techniques including FESEM, profilometer, UV-Vis and, autolab with irradiance of 100 mW/m2. From the results, TiO2/PEDOT:PSS with dye Eugenia clavifora (EC) obtained the highest efficiency of 1.33% using doctor blade technique compared to 0.00108% for spin coating technique. Sample thickness was obtained at 60.25 ± 1.20 nm corresponding to the concentration of TiO2 at 0.20 M. Thus, it can be conclude that, power conversion efficiency (PCE) was dependent to the deposition techniques of the thin film.
