Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) were developed as an alternative to silicon solar cells which proved to be expensive to fabricate and damaging to the environment. The aim was to replace silicon solar cells with clean and less costly cells. DSSCs proved to be better alternative. The challenge at hand up to date is the photo conversion of the DSSCs. Efficiency more than that of silicon cells has not been reported yet.  The efficiency of DSSCs dependents on the properties of the photoanode. The proposed study will be focusing on the bettering of DSSC’s photoanode by applying W/graphene hybrid nanocomposite. W/graphene electrode promises remarkable optical, electrical and photo conversion efficiency. The DSSC’s electrodes will be prepared by spin coating method. The DSSC will be assembled and tested with natural sunlight illumination. The outcomes will be analysed and discussed as part of MSc dissertation.
