Abstract

A novel inorganic-organic composite solid electrolyte is prepared by using TiO₂ nanotubes (TiNTs) as filler in polyethylene glycol (PEG) and effectively used for the fabrication of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Comparably high conversion efficiency ∼4.43% has been observed by using the newly designed inorganic-organic (PEG-TiNTs) composite solid electrolyte. By performing several experiments by using PEG-TiNTs composite solid electrolytes, it was observed that the appropriate ratios of TiNTs and PEG are important to obtain higher conversion efficiency. Moreover, the morphologies, chemical interactions of PEG and TiNTs and their performance to the DSSCs are studied extensively by FESEM, DSC, and XPS measurements.
