	abstract = {<p>Thin anatase TiO2 nanoleaves (NLs) with high surface area (similar to 93 m(2)/g) are synthesized by hydrothermal route and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) made using such NLs are compared with those made with hydro-thermally synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles and the Degussa P25 powder. The NLs-based DSSCs show increment of 16\% and 24\% in the total conversion efficiency over the cells made with NPs and P25 respectively. Interestingly, the highest increment in the conversion efficiency (similar to 35\%) is achieved for cells made using a 50:50 (wt/wt) mixture of NLs and NPs. In this case the dye loading is found to be \&gt;50\% higher than the case of NP films. Moreover the DC resistance of diffusion of I-3(-) in electrolyte (as revealed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) is substantially lower than the NP film case, other cell parameters being nominally comparable.

	abstract = {<p>Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles dressed with gold nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal process by using mixed precursor and controlled conditions. Diffused Reflectance Spectra (DRS) reveal that in addition to the expected TiO2 interband absorption below 360 nm gold surface plasmon feature occurs near 564 nm. It is shown that the dye sensitized solar cells made using TiO2-Au plasmonic nanocomposite yield superior performance with conversion efficiency (CE) of similar to 6\% (no light harvesting), current density (J(SC)) of similar to 13.2 mA/cm(2), open circuit voltage (V-oc) of similar to 0.74 V and fill factor (FF) 0.61; considerably better than that with only TiO2 nanoparticles (CE similar to 5\%, J(SC) similar to 12.6 mA/cm(2), V-oc similar to 0.70 V, FF similar to 0.56).
