Abstract
Abstract An ecofriendly TiO 2 from a plant extract of Averrhoa bilimbi with cost effective and non-toxic with cis dithiocynato-N, N-bis(2,2- bipyridyl-4,4-dicarboxylic acid)ruthenium(II) (N3 dye) in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) reports better efficiency of 5.2%. The green synthesized TiO 2 nanoparticles along with 2,4-Diamino-6-Phenyl-1-3-5-Triazine (DPT) doped Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/KI/I 2 /Pt shows better efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells. The green TiO 2 was characterized with XRD, UV, FTIR, SEM, TEM and EDX techniques confirm the band gap of 3.2 eV and 15 nm size for TiO 2 . The mechanical and electrical properties of DPT doped PEG/KI/I 2 polymer electrolyte were characterized with XRD, FTIR, EIS, DSC and TGA and it was confirmed that the DPT well miscible with PEG polymer electrolyte and improve s the electrical conductivity and enhance s the efficiency of DSSC.
