Enhancement in device efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been continuously reported by many researchers. Most of high performance devices were fabricated using TiO₂ nanoparticles with a diameter of a few tenths of nanometer and liquid electrolytes systems. However, the conventional TiO₂ nanoparticle based DSSCs with polymer gel electrolytes showed much lowers device efficiency. Besides slower charge transfer in high viscosity polymer gel, small pore size of TiO₂ nanoparticles film hinders complete penetration of gel electrolyte resulting in the lower device efficiency. Network of TiO₂ nanorods is certainly an attracting structure for DSSCs in terms of high surface area and porosity. In this work, quasi-solid-state dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) were demonstrated using TiO₂ nanorods and a polymer gel electrolyte. Networks of TiO₂ nanorods were obtained using electrospinning technique. Electrospinning is a remarkably simple method to generate one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures of polymers and metal oxides. The TiO₂ nanorods were 60 - 100 nm long with a diameter of ~ 15 nm, and the network has approximately two times larger surface area compared to the same weight of conventional nanoparticles (diameter ~ 25 nm). Furthermore, the highly porous nature of the networks helps the viscous polymer gel electrolyte to penetrate efficiently. As a result, the electrospun nanorod based DSSC showed improved efficiency of approximately 20% compared to the conventional TiO₂ nanoparticle based quasi-solid state DSSCs.
