Abstract

A dye solar cell with a dimension of 6 × 2 cm is fabricated with thickness of 40 μm, 80 μm and 120 μm of TiO₂ by smearing it on an ITO coated glass. It is then tested under the average solar irradiance and temperature of 693.69 w/m2, 44.4 °C respectively. Based on experimental investigation it is found that TiO₂ of 40 μm produces V _oc = 0.21V, J_sc= 121.28 μA, while the 80 μm produces V_oc= 0.16 V, I_sc =69.89μA, and TiO₂ layer with thickness of 120 μm produces Voc = 0.00063 V, Isc = 0 mA. From these results it shows that the best charge generation is from the thinner TiO ₂ thickness layer which is the 40 μm compare to with the other size.
