Abstract
Various studies on dye-sensitized solar cells, which are cheaper to manufacture and have superior stability than silicon solar cells, are continuously conducted. In this study, the properties of dye-sensitized solar cells were studied using semiconductor oxides made by mixing $TiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$. By adding $Nb_2O_5$ in different proportions, the solar cell was made, and the surface area and electrical characteristics of this cell were measured. As $Nb_2O_5$ was added, the contact area of dye and electrolyte increased and the short-circuit current, open voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells were confirmed to be improved.
