Characterization of Cu-Doped TiO2 using solvothermal method photoanodes

Dai Synthesized Solar Cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a financially and technically feasible alternative to p-n junction solar systems. Copper type semiconductors and titanium dioxide P are the primary operational components in solar cells. The material composition was assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Cu is an attractive solar absorber of choice because of its high solar absorption and low thermal radiation. This work discusses the solid-state reaction production and characterization of semiconductor particles. UV-visible absorption spectra were analyzed to determine optical characteristics and band gaps. According to XRD analysis, Cu doping causes the lattice constant to move by a specific amount. These data show that the energy band gap lowers as the annealing temperature increases, which can be attributed to the sample's higher crystallinity. Additionally, increasing the weight percentage of Cu-doped TiO2 reduces the band gap. Every photovoltaic parameter was recorded and discussed.
