This study investigated the different thicknesses of TiO2 photoanode films and the effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites on the current-voltage (I–V) performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The TiO2 layer was deposited using the doctor blade technique and the thickness of the TiO2 films was controlled by using a different number of Scotch tape layers. The silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were synthesised using a chemical reduction method and the concentration of sodium citrate as a reducing agent was varied from 4 to 12 mM to study the effect of citrate ion on the size of the nanoparticles. Ag-TiO2 nanopowder was prepared by adding pure anatase TiO2 powder into AgNP colloidal solution. The mixture was left to dry for 24 h to obtain Ag-TiO2 powder for paste preparation. The three-layer Scotch tape, with thickness of 14.38 µm, achieved a high efficiency of 4.14%. This results showed that three layers was the optimal thickness to improve dye loading and to reduce the charge recombination rate. As for the Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites, 10 mM of AgNP, with a mean diameter of 65.23 nm and high efficiency of 6.92%, proved that SPR can enhance the absorption capability of dye and improve the photon-to-electron generation.

Strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) field, which is generated from gold nanoparticles, may enhance photons absorption of dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), resulting in the improvement of their power conversion efficiency (PCE). In this paper, we report the incorporation of oleylamine capped gold nanoparticles (AuOA NPs) into the N-719 dye layer in DSSCs. The cells were prepared by varying the weight percentage of AuOA NPs with respect to the dye weight in dye solutions. The dye solutions containing 1.44[Formula: see text]wt.%, 1.92[Formula: see text]wt.% and 2.4[Formula: see text]wt.% of AuOA NPs exhibited an enhancement in their absorption spectra in the UV-Visible range, which may be the result of the excitation of localized SPR. The [Formula: see text] characteristics of those DSSCs show an enhancement in their photocurrent along with their PCE, from 4.18% to 5.14% for the cells made from the dye solutions without AuOA and with addition of 2.4[Formula: see text]wt.% of AuOA, respectively. This improvement is due to the enhancement of light absorption and hence charge carrier generation by the Plasmonic wave generated by AuOA NPs through the LSPR phenomenon.
