As an alternative energy, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much attention due to low cost manufacturing procedure and high energy consumption rate. Incorporating scattering centers in the nanocrystalline photoanode or additional scattering layers on the nanocrystalline photoanode is an effective way to enhance the light harvest efficiency of the photoanode and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light scattering abilities of these scattering layers also depend on the relative sizes and phase of the particles in the layers. A higher surface area is normally obtained using large particle sizes. Therefore, transparent high surface area TiO2 layers and an additional scattering layer consisting of TiO2 -Rutile 500 ㎚paste with relatively larger particles are attractive. In this work, we investigates the applicability of a hybrid TiO2 electrode (or a working electrode with a light scattering layer) in a DSSCs. We fabrication various thin film using TiO2 paste 20 ㎚and TiO2 paste 500 ㎚. As a result, the efficiency of the a single structure thin film was 3.35% and the efficiency as scattering layer of hybrid structure thin film was 4.36%, 4.73%.
