This study aimed to fabricate graphene oxide (GO)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) hybridbased material for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and membrane separation applications. The electrochemical exfoliation assisted by customized triple-tail sodium 1, 4-bis (neopentyloxy)-3-(neopentyloxycarbonyl)-1, 4-dioxobutane-2-sulphonate (TC14) and commercially available single-tail sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactants were used to synthesize GO with water-based electrolyte and N, Ndimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvents. The chemical reduction process utilizing hydrazine hydrate was then performed to produce reduced GO (rGO) which further hybridized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The fabrication of DSSCs counter electrode (CE) was done by spraying deposition method on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as substrate and also coated by thin platinum (Pt). Meanwhile, different variety of TiO2 nanostructures as DSSCs photoanode were synthesized by hydrothermal growth and squeegee.....
