Abstract
In this work, Indium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles with various molar concentrations were synthesized by solvothermal method. The prepared nanoparticles were analysis using characterization. The structural properties of X-ray diffraction (XRD) used to obtain the hexogonal structure of nanoparticles. The surface morphology of prepared nanoparticles was magnification by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), The optical bandgap and functional groups were obtained by Ultra-Violet Visible spectra and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Then the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cell based on indium doped ZnO photoanode using cactus dye. The performance of J-V characterization demonstrate a high short-circuit photocurrent density of 2.83 mA/cm2 and open circuit voltage of 0.63with relevant solar cell efficiency of 0.92 % whereas DSSCs made from pure ZnO NPs exhibited a current density of 8.02 mA/cm2 with 0.19 % efficiency. To increase the light-harvesting efficiency, both the photoanode and photons absorption could be optimized and it good response for UV-region. From this reports dye and photoanode are suitable to increase the efficiency of solar cell.
