Dye adsorption on Ti02and electron transport in Ti02film are the two critical factors in determining efficiency of the the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Increasing dye adsorption which increases the light harvesting is usually achieved by using nanoporous or nanoparticle Ti02films. Electron transport is determined by the inter-particle resistance of Ti02film. Electrospinning is a viable method for forming porous structure materials with high surface area. In this study, it was found that electrospinning is able to achieve good solar cell performance due to the high electron transport caused by the pores in the Ti02film.

Sensitized Solar Cells

In TiO2 nanoparticle based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC), the electron injected from the dye has to cross multiple interparticle boundaries in random directions before reaching the electrode. For application in DSSCs, the directional pathway for electron transport through the nanotubes is known to reduce the recombination rate. In the present study, titania nanotubes with nanograss layer have been fabricated by anodization of titanium foil in fluoride containing organic electrolyte. Dye sensitized solar cells with photoanode made of titania nanotubes covered with nanograsswas found to have a higher efficiency than ones made with only titania nanotubes of the same length.This can be attributed to enhanced dye adsorption on nanotubes with nanograss. The efficiency of DSSC using titania nanotubes is also affected by the annealing conditions such as duration, temperature.

The dye-ability and electron transport property of TiO2 film are the two critical factors in determining efficiency of the the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Increasing dye adsorption which increases the light harvesting is usually achieved by using nanoporous or nanoparticle TiO2 films. Electron transport is determined by the inter-particle resistance of TiO2 film. Electrospinning is a viable method for forming porous structure materials with high surface area and less immersing time. In this study, it was found that electrospinning is able to achieve good solar cell performance due to the high electron transport caused by the nano-pores in the TiO2 film.
