Well crystallized Aluminium (Al) doped Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles with various doping concentration (0, 0.05[Formula: see text]M, 0.07[Formula: see text]M, 0.09[Formula: see text]M and 0.11[Formula: see text]M) were synthesized successfully by sol–gel route to develop the photo anode of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Anatase crystalline nature of TiO2 nanoparticles was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrophotometer. The Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the morphology of the photo anode (Al-doped TiO2 nanoparticles). The photovoltaic performance of the DSSC in terms of Current, Voltage and efficiency was investigated with a standard illumination of AM1.5G having an irradiance 100[Formula: see text]mW/cm2. Optimized values of Short Circuit Current density ([Formula: see text]), Open Circuit Voltage ([Formula: see text]) and efficiency ([Formula: see text]) obtained was 247.62[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A/cm2, 359[Formula: see text]mV and 0.02456%, respectively for 0.07[Formula: see text]M Al doping concentration. Eco-friendly Eosin Y dye was used for sensitization of the photo anode. The optimized photovoltaic cell exhibits very good efficiency (80.05% more than the earlier reported work).

Titanium dioxide (TiO[Formula: see text] nanoparticles have been synthesized by the cost effective Sol–Gel technique. Characteristics of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The Eosin Y dye and dye extracted from Hibiscus tea have been successfully used in fabrication of the dye sensitized solar cell. The photovoltaic performance of the dye sensitized solar cell indicates that the short circuit photo current, open circuit voltage and efficiency of the DSSC using Eosin Y dye is 10 times more compared to the DSSC using the Hibiscus dye.

AbstractThis study reports the performance analysis of an organic dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), introducing MnO2 as an electron transport layer in TiO2/MnO2 bilayer assembly. The DSSCs have been fabricated using TiO2 and TiO2/MnO2 layer-by-layer architecture films onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass and sensitized with natural dye extracted from Malvaviscus penduliflorus flower in ethanol medium. The counter electrode was prepared to layer copper powder containing paste onto FTO's conductive side by the doctor's blade method. The optical, morphological, and structural properties of photoanodes were explored via ultraviolet–visible, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses. Moreover, dye complexity and thermostability of dyes were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses. The iodide/triiodide (i.e., I−/I3−) redox couple of electrolyte solution was employed as a charge transport medium between the electrodes. Finally, photoanode and counter electrode sandwiches were assembled to envisage the photovoltaic performance potential under simulated AM 1.5G solar illumination using 100 mW cm–2 light intensity. The as-fabricated DSSC comprising TiO2/MnO2 bilayer assembly exhibited 6.02 mA cm–2 short circuit current density (Jsc), 0.38 V open-circuit voltage (Voc), 40.38% fill factor, and 0.92% conversion efficiency, which is about 200% higher compared to the assembly devoid of MnO2 layer.
