In the recent past, the metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recognized as attractive photosensitizer materials due to their hierarchically ordered structures and attractive light-harvesting characteristics. In this work, we report the application of a graphene-MOF composite as a potential photosensitizer material in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A thin film of graphene-MOF hybrid composite was electrochemically assembled on a TiO2/FTO substrate and the different characteristics of the prepared film were investigated. This novel photoanode material hybrid structure demonstrated the potency of an alternative solid-state DSSC configuration. The 2.2% observed power conversion efficiency of the above graphene-MOF composite is a good basis for the further development of graphene-MOF composite-based photoanodes. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
