Silver nanopaticle has the plasmonic characteristic is called surface plasmon resonance (SPR) which mixed in to ZnO semiconductor material. Silver nanopaticle SPR can enhance the electronic and optical properties of ZnO. ZnO nanocomposite can be used to increase efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Ag-ZnO nanocomposite has successfully been grown using hydrothermal and seed-mediated methods with volume variation of AgNO3 solutions. In this study, the effect of volume variation of AgNO3 solution was evaluated. Samples were characterized using UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Microscope (FESEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The research result showed that from UV-Vis spectrum, Ag-ZnO nanocomposites was grown to form hexagonal shape and absorption peaks observed was due to ZnO nanorods and Ag-nanoparticles. The XRD pattern showed five diffraction peaks at 2θ: 31,7780, 34,4340, 36,2650, 47,5560, and 56,6130 which indicated the presence of ZnO nanotubes with a crystal orientation (100), (002), (101), (102) and (110). FESEM photo showed the Ag-ZnO nanocomposite having nanorod and nanotube geometrical shape with a hexagonal cross-section. From I-V measurement of DSSC, the highest efficiency was obtained at samples 2.0 ml i.e 0.578%.
