Enhancing the Efficiency and Stability for Next-Generation Solar Energy Harvesting

Scientific research is swiftly advancing to improve solar cell efficiency as a solution to environmental damage from fossil fuels. This study targets two main strategies: the production of nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) through electrochemical methods, chosen for its ease, speed, and cost-effectiveness, and the high efficiency of titanium dioxide as a luminous solar concentrator (LSC). X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the formation of titanium dioxide nanorods and spherical particles. The research also utilized Rhodamine B dye only to enhance solar cell efficiency. Combining 50% titanium dioxide with rhodamine dye yielded change in efficiency (Δη) of 70%, whereas individual dye application resulted in (Δη) of 20% for rhodamine dye. These findings mark significant progress toward clean, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions, highlighting the potential of nanotechnology and innovative dye applications to enhance solar cell performance and reduce environmental impact
