N2 - Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are receiving scientific considerations due to its tunable structural properties. Likewise, the MOF derived structures possess the advantages of controlling the morphology and surface area. Currently, researchers are focused on using the MOF derived materials, especially metal oxides, for different clean energy applications. Through this research work we propose a simple solvothermal process to fabricate Cobalt doped TiO2 nanoparticles and their applicability in Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). MIL-125 MOFs were taken as Titanium source and Cobalt (Co2+) doping was carried out 400°C. The obtained material was characterized using Xray diffractometer and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed the anatase morphology and highly porous structures with particle size of 30 nm. Furthermore, enhanced light absorption was detected in the UV-Vis spectroscopy. DSSC cells were fabricated using the synthesized samples and a maximum power conversion efficiency of 6.86% was obtained which is 13% more than undoped TiO2 samples.
