The relation- ship between current and voltage was found to be algorism, which is in agreement with the or- dinary relation for solar cells. When dye concen- tration was increased the conductivity, fill factor and efficiency were also increased. This result is found to be in conformity with the theoretical relations. The small energy gaps for their sam- ples show that they are semiconductors. The maximum efficiency obtained is 33.2%. than 11%) [5]. Highly ordered TiO nano tubes were 2 successfully fabricated using a nano porous alumina tem- plating method, a modified sol gel route was used to in- filtrate the alumina pores with Ti (OC H ) which was 2 3 7 4 subsequently converted into TiO nano tubes, the average 2 external diameter, tube lengths, and wall thickness achieved were 295 nm, 6 - 15 μm, and 21 - 42 nm, respectively. Diffraction data reveals that the
