N2 - This paper focuses on the performance of introducing zeolite nanocomposite into photoanodes of dye-sensitized solar cells. Mesoporous titanium dioxide and zeolite nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal technique. The Synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by various techniques via X-ray diffraction technique, Scanning electron microscopy, and Ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. XRD analysis showed highly crystalline zeolite, Titanium oxide and its composite showed polycrystalline nature. SEM results elucidated that the incorporation of Titanium oxide into zeolite changed the surface morphology from rectangular to spherical.  Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy shows that the bandgap of zeolite, titanium oxide, and its composite is 3.4, 3.2, and 4.14 eV, respectively. Current voltage results confirmed the formation of p-n heterojunction formed between p– and n-type materials indicating the behavior of solar cell devices.
