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.

Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) have been successfully fabricated by using ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). The ZnO photoelectrode was prepared by using pastes solved in water-based and ethanol-based solvent. The ZnO NPs was synthesized by copresipitation method, prepared by reaction from Zinc Acetate with diethylene glycol (DEG). The obtained ZnO NPs has 13.93 nm particle diameter. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that ZnO NPs from monodisperse spherical aggregate with particle diameter of approximately 300nm. The band gap was found of 3.29eV. Variations of annealing temperature were carried out in photo-electrode fabrication. This work employs extracts from mangosteen pericarp as natural dye for fabrication of DSSCs. DSSCs were fabricated in sandwich structure with redox couple electrolyte I3-/I- and Pt-catalyst counter electrode. The best efficiency of 0.11% (Voc = 232.4 mV, Jsc = 111.6 µA/cm2, FF = 61.41 %) was obtained for DSSCs using ZnO photo-electrode prepared by ethanol-based paste and 200°C of annealing temperature.
