Title | Influence of Metal Ion Doping of Zinc Oxide Photoanode on the Efficiency of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell |

Abstract |
Doping zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and doped with Niobium (Nb5+) and Aluminium (Al3+) ions were synthesized to use as a photoanode for the Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). The structural of the synthetized samples were examined via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns for all samples confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The DSSCs based on the undoped and doped ZnO NPs were fabricated and assembled. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images were measured for all fabricated devices. The doping Nb5+ and Al3+ ions influenced the performance of the DSSCs. ZnO NPs doped Nb5+ led to higher surface area and hence more dye loading and retard the recombination of charges, which enhanced the open circuit voltage. |
