摘要：
In the present study, we synthesized silver nanoparticles in titanosilicate matrix through low cost non-hydrolytic sol-gel method using titanium isopropoxide (TIP), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS, (Si(OC2H5)(4)) and ethanol (C2H5OH) as solvents. These were investigated for the plasmonic effect of nanoparticles in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells with Ag: SiO2-TiO2 films coated in fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass plate with dye of amaranthus red shows an improved output voltage. The samples were optically and structurally well studied by absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The XRD studies confirmed the crystalline nature of TiO2 and Ag.
