Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using multiwalled carbon nanotube/titanium dioxide (MWCNT/TiO2) was successfully synthesized using sol-gel method. In this method, it has been performed under various acid treatments MWCNT concentration level at (a) 0.00 g, (b) 0.01 g, (c) 0.02 g, and (d) 0.03 g. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to study surface roughness of the MWCNT/TiO2thin films. The average roughness results for 0.00 g, 0.01 g, 0.02 g, and 0.03 g were 10.995, 18.308, 24.322, and 25.723 nm, respectively. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis showned the inner structural design of the MWCNT/TiO2particles. The TiO2nanoparticles covered almost all the area of MWCNT particles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) gave the morphological surface structure of the thin films. The thin films formed in good distribution with homogenous design. The DSSC with MWCNT/TiO2electrode containing 0.03 g MWCNT were resulted in the highest efficiency of 2.80% with short-circuit current densityJscof 9.42 mA/cm2and open-circuit voltageVocof 0.65 V.

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.
