Synthesis of TiO2 by hydrothermal method using deep eutectic solvent for application in dye-sensitised solar cell

Abstract

Raw TiO₂ powder from a commercial source was used as a precursor in the hydrothermal process with deep eutectic solvent (DES) of choline chloride and urea
with a molar ratio of 1:2 at different temperatures and interval times. The synthesised TiO₂ was further utilised to produce diffracting TiO₂ paste for application in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) to improve the power conversation efficiency of devices...
