Abstract
Improving the capability to capture photon radiation by the photoelectrode film is one of the promising efforts in developing high performance dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) through enhancing the light harvesting efficiency by the incorporation of light scattering centre. The scattering centre serves to extend the optical path length and improve the long-wavelength response of the DSC. This study aims to develop an optimum structure of micron-size SiO2 core and TiO2 nanoshell structure as light scattering centre for the photoelectrode film of DSC. MATLAB simulation of extinction efficiency based on Mie scattering theory estimated that the optimum size of light scatterer scattering size is in the range of 150
