Abstract

This investigation was aimed at preparing well performance TiO₂ for dye-sensitized solar cell by solution combustion method. The solution combustion synthesis of TiO₂ powders was investigated over a wide range of synthesis conditions by using metal nitrates (oxidizer)-urea and glycine (fuel) system. Titanium (IV) n-butoxide was hydrolyzed to obtain titanl hydroxide [TiO(OH)₂], and titanyl nitrate [TiO(NO₃) ₂] was obtained by reaction of TiO(OH)₂ with nitric acid. Finally, the aqueous solution containing titanyl nitrate [TiO(NO ₃)₂] and a fuel,i.e. urea or glycine was combusted to obtain the TiO₂ nanoparticles. The TiO₂ nanoparticles thus obtained were used to fabricate electrodes for DSSC. The performance of the DSSC was measured and compared with those fabricated with commercial TiO ₂ powders.
