Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been synthesized by the cost effective Sol–Gel technique. Characteristics of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The Eosin Y dye and dye extracted from Hibiscus tea have been successfully used in fabrication of the dye sensitized solar cell. The photovoltaic performance of the dye sensitized solar cell indicates that the short circuit photo current, open circuit voltage and efficiency of the DSSC using Eosin Y dye is 10 times more compared to the DSSC using the Hibiscus dye.
