摘要: We report a facile method for the fabrication of TiO2 nanofiber–nanoparticle composite (FP) via. simultaneous electrospraying and electrospinning dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) applications. The loading nanoparticles on fibers is controlled by varying their feed rates during electrospinning. FP composites having three different particle are prepared methodology with highest (denoted as FP-3 in manuscript) showed best overall efficiency 9.15% comparison to other compositions (FP-2, 8.15% FP-1, 7.51%, respectively) nanofibers (F) (P) separately (7.21 7.81, respectively). All material systems characterized spectroscopy, microscopy, surface area measurements devices current–voltage (I-V), incident photon-to-current conversion (IPCE), electrochemical impedance measurements, etc. I-V, dye-loading reflectance throw light performance DSC devices.
