“…After the sun's rays fall on this material, active oxygen is generated, which in turn purifies water from pollutants, bacteria, fungi, germs, organic materials, as well as toxic elements such as arsenic As and Chromium Cr [1][2][3]. Titanium was first discovered in 1971 by an English chemist and geologist William Gregor And years later, titanium dioxide TiO 2 was manufactured for use as a whitening ingredient used in toothpastes, a multifaceted compound used as a strong photocatalyst capable of breaking any organic compound if exposed to the sun [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], and therefore can be used in cleaning and bleaching fabrics and purifying water / waste water and air [16] and in many other industrial applications such as the iron, electronics and chemicals industry, all the way to the manufacture of cosmetics, batteries and solar cells [17] and hydrogen production because of its important physical and chemical properties. It has chemical stability and is chemically non-toxic [2,3] and a high static permittivity, and is characterized by an Eg energy gap ranging between 3.04-3.46 eV [18], as it has A high resistivity estimated at 10 12 Ω.cm at a temperature of 25C°.…”

Titanium dioxide TiO2 has witnessed great interest in international research laboratories due to its excellent properties. To study the changes in its physical properties, the structural properties of pure and lead-doped titanium dioxide powder samples were examined with different ratios (x = 0.2 - 0.5 - 0.7 - 0.9 g). The results of X-ray diffraction showed the participation of samples of anatase and rutile of the tetragonal crystal system and brookite of the orthorhombic crystal system based in the titanium dioxide compound with the peaks corresponding to the crystalline levels (110), (012), (040), (111), (211), (123), (112)The preferred orientation is (110) in all pure and doped samples. The relative intensities, distance between crystalline planes (d), crystal size (D), lattice parameters (a), (b) and (c), Initial cell size (V), dislocation density (δ), and theoretical density of the X-ray diffraction spectrum for the powders (ρX-ray) were determined, and the number of atoms of a substance per unit volume (n) and the average distance between atoms (L).

This research investigated the application of the CuO/TiO2, NiO/TiO2, or In2O3/TiO2 thin film electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Second metal oxide and TiO2 sols were synthesized separately via sol-gel methods. The sols were mixed and sprayed onto the fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrates. The amount of second metal oxide added to TiO2 was varied at 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0%wt. The electrode layer was sintered at 400?C for two hours. The addition of CuO, NiO, and In2O3 produced the photovoltaic efficiency of the cell 4.03?0.58% with 0.1%wt. CuO/TiO2, 5.17?0.07% with 0.5%wt. NiO/TiO2, and 6.21?0.87% with 1.0%wt. In2O3/TiO2, respectively. The DSSCs with 1.0%wt. In2O3/TiO2 electrode coated with N3 dye possessed the highest power conversion efficiency, compared with that of DSSCs with pure TiO2 (3.40?0.62%) electrode coated with the same dye. The DSSCs with single-layered NiO/TiO2 or In2O3/TiO2 electrode had the high value of short-circuit current density (Jsc) and consequently high efficiency, which is due to the larger specific surface area of the electrode available for dye adsorption. Furthermore, the double-layered electrode structure with pure TiO2 as the under-layer and 1.0%wt. In2O3/TiO2 as the over-layer was studied. The cell efficiency was increased from 6.21?0.87% to 7.95?0.40%, compared to the single-layered 1.0%wt. In2O3/TiO2 electrode. This can be attributed to light scattering effect as a result of mismatched particle size in the two layers, which increased the reflection of light back into the cell. The enhancement of light reflection was evident from the result of UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Improving the performance of TiO2 photoanodes via the inclusion of metal particles on the electrode surface could provide significant advantages for the development of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We studied a TiO2/Cu film electrode prepared by electrodepositing Cu particles on a TiO2 film on an indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) substrate. Cu particles were electrodeposited on a TiO2 electrode at −700 mV vs. a Ag/AgCl electrode in an acetate bath, with the pH adjusted between 6.3 and 7.7 in 0.2 increments to optimize the deposition conditions. TiO2/Cu thin-film electrodes were tested as a photo anode in a natural DSSC consisting of a carbon counter electrode, Vitis vinifera dye, and a KI/I2-based electrolyte. Film characterization was performed using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES), grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), and photocurrent density–voltage (J–V) measurements. DSSCs with Cu particles containing TiO2 electrodes prepared using an acetate bath of pH 7.3 resulted in a 370% improvement in efficiency compared to the DSSCs without Cu particles. Thus, this study revealed that incorporating Cu particles into the surface of the TiO2 electrode enhances the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs.
