Recently, interest has been growing in these past few years in incorporating poly [2- methoxy-5-(2-ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4-phenylene-vinylene] (MEH-PPV) polymer and Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) nanocomposite based organic solar cell devices. The MEHPPV: TiO₂ nanocomposite was being studied more closely because it is possible to combine the desirable characteristics between MEH-PPV and TiO₂ within a single composite for organic solar cell application. In this study, several critical parameters were studied regarding the optimum properties of MEH-PPV: TiO₂ for use in organic solar cell including the composition of TiO₂ nanoparticles present in MEH-PPV polymer matrix (0- 40wt%), the choice of organic solvent to dissolve MEH-PPV polymer (chloroform,tetrahydrofuran, toluene, xylene and dichlorobenzene) and the influence of nanocomposite thin film’s drying temperature (50-125°C).
