摘要
Dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a well-known photovoltaic device that is used for low power application. One of the main components for DSSC is semiconductor material photoanode which will provide the pathway for electron transportation and thus determine the energy conversion efficiency of the DSSC. The most commonly used material for the semiconductor photoanode is titanium dioxide (TiO2). TiO2 is a semiconductor material with wide bandgap material that is existed in three crystalline phase; rutile, anatase and brookite. This paper emphasizes the best annealing temperature for commercialized TiO2, 98% anatase powder where the temperature varies from 300 ºC – 600 ºC. Through this research, the best annealing temperature for anatase TiO2 photoanode is at 420 ºC (0.094%) with the crystallite size of 18.76 nm and particle size of 19 nm that is favorable for the dye attached and thus enhances the energy conversion efficiency of the DSSC. © 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
