In this study, we increase the solar conversion efficiency of DSSC (dye-sensitized solar cell) using nanocrystalline TiO2 semiconductor. We preparation of TiO2 photoelectrode, assembly the DSSC and put a focus in analyses electrochemical properties of DSSC by using quartz glass powder in TiO2 photoelectrode to increase light scattering effect and improved conversion efficiency. Morphology of the photoelectrode was investigate using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and photovoltaic properties was examined under illumination with AM 1.5 simulated sunlight. The results showed 146% power conversion efficiency when the optimal content of quartz glass powder was 5 wt.% than another content.
