Preparation by Hydrothermal Method of TiO2-RGO Nanocomposite and Using as Photoanode of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell
We explored the photoanode properties of DSSCs by used RGO and TiO2 nanoparticles as an optical electrode (we used the doctor's blade method). Using the hydrothermal process, we prepared a nanocomposite of TiO2/RGO. SEM and XRD, tests were used to study the structural properties of TiO2 and TiO2/RGO. When compared the J-V properties of the integrated devices made to those made, the J-V properties of the integrated devices came out on top of used TiO2/RGO as the photoanode in a solar cell for TiO2/RGO, which increased the PCE (8.674±0.063%). We were able to improve the short circuit current density (Jsc) and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) for the effective region by adding RGO to the TiO2. The PCE has improved due to better electron transport, improved electron collection in photoanode, and increased light-harvesting performance. As a result, RGO with distinct structural and optical properties is a viable choice in DSSC.
