Efficient Cu/rGO/TiO2 nanocomposite-based photoanode for highly-optimized plasmonic dye-sensitized solar cells
Renewable energy resources play a valuable role in the global increase of energy demand. The research was performed to enhance the performance of plasmonic dye-sensitized solar cells (PDSSCs) by harvesting the maximum sunlight. In this context, the TiO 2 nanoparticles for simple DSSCs and the Cu/rGO...

nanocomposite-based photoanode to fabricate the plasmonic dye-sensitized solar cells (PDSSCs). SEM, EDX, XRD, and UV/Vis techniques were employed to analyze the surface morphology, elemental composition, crystal structure, and absorbance spectra, respectively.

nanocomposite presented an enhanced efficiency of 5.14% in PDSSCs, which is more than that of the DSSCs-based on pure TiO

nanoparticles. As an enhanced efficiency could be achieved by high optical absorption and electron injection rate, the PDSSCs with Cu/rGO/TiO

nanocomposite have an enhanced efficiency due to the surface plasmonic resonance. An improved IPCE of 59.79% was also achieved in Cu/rGO/TiO

nanocomposite-based photoanode, which might be due to the higher surface area of the photoanode. |
