Composite nanoporous electrode SnO₂/TiO₂ was fabricated for the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with N₃ (Cis-Ru). After introducing of TiO₂, the open-circuit photovoltage (Voc) was higher than that of the pure SnO₂ electrode, while short-circuit photocurrent (Isc) was varied with the ratio of the TiO₂. Appropriate content of the TiO₂ can be beneficial to the efficiency of the solar cell, and it gives negative impact on the composite electrode when the content of TiO₂ is higher.
