Abstract

Titanium dioxide or titania shows a great interest in solar cell application due to its morphology and crystalline structure. Moreover, it is an affordable compound that could make solar cells more cost economical than traditional silicon solar cells. In this study, the influence of rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) deposit on reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) as photoanode through one-step hydrothermal technique is demonstrated to synthesis rutile TiO2 nanorods (NRs) and nanoflowers (NFs) morphology in nanoscale dimension with different rGO volume for Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) application. The successful synthesis of TiO2 on FTO/rGO was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectra. The performance of dye-sensitized solar cells as outcome of rGO contents in solar cell was also examined. The optimal performance result in contrast with liquid electrolyte based solar cell has been approved over photovoltaic performance study in terms characteristics of open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Jsc) and solar conversion efficiency.
