This work developed a novel ternary composite photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) composed of (i) N-, S-doped titanium dioxide with exposed {001} facet (N-, S-TiO2{001}), (ii) N-, S-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-, S-rGO), and (iii) commercial titanium dioxide (P25). The DSSC device fabricated with the ternary composite photoanode showed the greatest of power conversion efficiency (8.62%) compared to the device fabricated with P25 photoanode (3.20%). This enhancement was attributed to the synergistic effect of the N-, S-TiO2{001} and the N-, S-rGO, which act as an electron enricher and an electron extractor, respectively.

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).
