Low temperature nanocrystalline titanium dioxide particles were prepared via the sol-gel method using titanium(IV) butoxide for fabrication of flexible dye sensitized solar cells. The prepared sample was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, specific surface area, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Results confirm that the synthesized sample was highly crystalline anatase TiO 2  with an average particle size of 35 nm. The measured specific surface area for TiO 2  powder and average surface roughness for TiO 2  film were 61.11 m 2  g −1  and 17.25 nm respectively. The prepared nano-scale TiO 2  was then employed to fabricate flexible dye sensitized solar cell via the low temperature sintering and operated with a platinum counter electrode. The solar energy conversion efficiency for the cell fabricated with TiO 2  nanoparticles was about 0.85%.
