چکیده
Recent research is focused on few layered graphene (FLG) with various metal oxides (MOs) as (MOs; CeO2, CuO, SnO2, CdO, ZnO, and TiO2) nanocomposite materials are alternatives to critically important in the fabrication of solar cell devices. In this work, FLG different MOs nanocomposites were prepared by a novel eco-friendly viable ultrasonic assisted route (UAR). The FLG/MO performed characterization techniques. crystal phase compositional carried out through using X-ray diffraction technique. Surface morphological studies field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) high-resolution transmission microscopy (HR-TEM). Spectroscopic methods done Raman UV-Vis Diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-DRS). used photoanode, dye sensitized cells (DSSCs). Compared TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) other nanocomposites, FLG/TiO2 exhibited superior photovoltaic properties. obtained results indicate that significantly improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) DSSCs. analyses simulator an air mass (AM) 1.5 G, density 100 m W/m2, current density-voltage (J-V) was investigated N719 dye.

Few-layer graphene/TiO2 nanocrystal composites are successfully in situ synthesized at a low temperature of 400 °C using C28H16Br2 as the precursor. Raman mapping images show that the TiO2 nanocrystals are very uniformly dispersed in the composite films, and the in situ coating during the thermal decomposition process will favor the formation of a good interface combination between the few-laye...
