The present paper describes a new type of composite photo-anode of SiO2/TiO2that was prepared by adding nano-sized SiO2into the TiO2(P25) paste during the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The effects of the added SiO2on the performance of DSSCs were investigated and the preparative procedures of DSSCs were optimized. It was found that certain amount of SiO2added in the P25 powder was crucial to reduce the agglomeration and enhance the dispersion of P25 powders, which helps to achieve a better connection and thus higher electron transfer efficiency not only between the TiO2particles but also between the TiO2particles and the FTO substrate. Under the same standard air mass 1.5 illumination (100mWcm−2), the DSSCs constructed by SiO2/P25 composite photo-anodes show higher solar energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency (e.g., η=8.4%) compared to those by bare P25 electrodes (typically η=5.8%). The higher η mainly results from its higher short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc=18.7mAcm−2) while the open-circuit voltage (Voc) remains unchanged and was found to be ∼780mV. The fill factor (FF) was 0.57. The great enhancement in Jscof DSSCs is ascribed to the SiO2energy barrier layer which increases the separation of injected electrons and oxidized dyes/redox couple as well as retards the recombination reactions in the resulting DSSCs.
