Synthesis and Characterization of rGO/Fe3O4 Nanocomposite as Counter Electrode for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Abstract

Abstract: In this project work deals with the synthesis and characterization of rGO/Fe3o4 nanocomposite as counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cell . The growing population in the world arouses energy concerns in all kinds of fields. It is mandatory to meet our everyday energy demands from solar, wind, geothermal, and so on. The proposed Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC’s) belong to the group of thin-film solar cells that have been the subject of research for more than two decades due to their low cost, simple preparation methodology, low toxicity, ease of production, and simple methodology. Still, there is a lot of scope for the replacement of current DSSC’s materials due to their high cost, limited abundance, and long-term stability. These cells have the advantages of low-energy and high-throughout processing technologies, low material costs, and the ability to work even in low incident light conditions. To studied about the structural and morphological properties of synthesized rGO/Fe3O4 nanocomposite by using various characterization techniques such as XRD analysis, then the efficiency of existing DSSC’s may be upto 10-12% by using eosin yellow dyes and optimising material.
