Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been invested much attentions in possibilities of high solar-electrical energy conversion efficiency and low fabrication cost.For DSSCs, the TiO2 is one of the most important constituent affecting the cell performance. The crystal phase, particle shape, and size of TiO2 will all affect the dye adsorption, electron transport, and electrolyte diffusion in the cell as well as the light-to-electricity conversion efficiency. This thesis was divided to two part, In the first part, a systematic investigation of the influence of mixed-phase TiO2 with various aTiO2 to rTiO2 ratio (A/R) toward the DSSCs efficiency. In the second part, I will discuss the scattering layer effect for the mix-phase TiO2 film. Part I. The pure Anatase and Rutile TiO2 were synthesized by hydrolysis of titanium tetra-n-butoxide in acetic acid and in hydrochloric acid repectively, followed by hydrothermal treatment. It was found that the phase-composited TiO2 showed enhanced DSSCs efficiency (η) compared to pure Anatase and/or rutile TiO2. The most optimum value for η is 7.066 % with Anatase/rutile ratios of 9:1 with Ru-bipyridine dye (Solaronix N719). The plausible explaination for the correlation between Anatase/rutile ratio of the TiO2 films and the corresponding DSSCs efficiency was proposed and discussed based on the TiO2 nanocrystal and film properties. Part II. Three different TiO2 particles of QF-Ti-1125F(200 nm)、QF-Ti-1125G(400 nm) and Flower-like(400 nm) were used for a scattering overlayer for mixed-phase TiO2 main-layer.While the conversion efficiency of the main-layer(A90R10) is slightly improved from 7.066 % to 7.738 %, 8.445 % and 7.373 % when QF-Ti-1125F, QF-Ti-1125G and Flower-like TiO2 particulate overlayers are introduced.
