  Abstract

In order to improve the photo conversion efficiency (η) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the electrospun TiO2, SiO2, ZrO2 and SnO2 nanofibers were added into the hydrothermally prepared TiO2 nanoparticles for application to a photoelectrode for DSSCs. The TiO2 nanofiber added photoelectrode exhibited a higher photo current density (Jsc) compared to the bare TiO2 nanoparticles, which is caused from acceleration of the transfer of excited electron from dye molecule due to the nanofiber structure. The DSSCs with SiO2 nanofibers shows a higher open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.67 V and the highest photo conversion efficiency was found to be 6.24%.
