The present work involves fabricating TiO2 nanowires on the fluoride doped Tin oxideglass substrate by the hydrothermal method to use as photoelectrode in the dye-sensitized solar cell together with a counter graphene nanoplatelets. The morphology and structure of TiO2 nanowires were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results emphasized the synthesis of it on the FTO at the optimum conditions such as degree of temperature and reaction time. The photovoltaic parameters estimated and the solar cell showed the fill factor close to 0.304under irradiated with a light source at 85 mW/cm.
