Description
Summary:The search for alternative energy sources has led us to develop solar energy as one of the primary solutions. Infallible Preparation of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) by Sol-Gel technique then embedded into polystyrene (PS) with different ratios to fabricate PS/TiO2 nanocomposite for solar cell usage. The Crystalline framework of TiO2 and PS/TiO2 were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD) in determining of its crystal size. UV-Visible Spectroscopy gave the relation between the absorbance and wavelength of the materials. The evolution of electrical properties of PS/TiO2 nanocomposite is investigated to set the optimum parameter in fabrication PS/TiO2 as solar cell materials.
