▎ 摘  要

Polyaniline (PANi)-graphene composites and polyaniline-graphene/TiO2 composites were prepared by ex-situ approach. Systematic investigation was carried out to explore photovoltaic (PV) properties of PANi-graphene and PANi-graphene/TiO2 composite. The prepared composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Raman Spectroscopy and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy. The PV properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) prepared composites investigated by assembling materials in ITO/PANi-graphene/Al and ITO/PANi-graphene/TiO2/Al architecture. Different PV parameters such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage, fill factor and power conversion efficiency were determined from the (Current-Voltage) IV characteristics of PV cell. The 15 wt% PANi loaded graphene composite based PV cell shows optimized power conversion efficiency of the order 6.47%. The main accomplishment of present work is that efficiency associated with 15 wt% PANi loaded graphene composite, improved further by addition of TiO2 nanoparticles. The composite system between PANi-graphene/TiO2 for 1 wt% of TiO2 nanoparticles shows optimized power conversion efficiency of the order 8.63%.
