Telah dilakukan pembuatan Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) dengan elektroda kerja yang terbuat dari campuran TiO2 dan 14% grafit yang selanjutnya ditulis sebagai TiO2:C14%.Koloid TiO2:C14% dideposisikan pada substrat kaca konduktif Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide(FTO) dengan metode sol-gel-spin coating pada kecepatan 500, 1000 dan 1500 rpm selama 50 detik. Kemudian lapisan ini direndam selama 24 jam dalam pewarna (dye) yang diambil dari ekstrak kelopak bunga rosella (hibiscus sabdariffa). Untuk mengkarakterisasi bahan pembentuk sel surya dilakukan uji XRD dan SEM.  Uji efisiensi sel surya tersensitasi zat warna dihitung dengan menggunakan rangkaian karakteristik kurva IV. Dari hasil yang diperoleh ketebalan tertinggi diperoleh pada kecepatan putar 500 rpm dengan ketebalan lapisan 0,9 mm dan efisiensi yang dihasilkan adalah 0,014%.   The production of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) has been done. The transparent electrode is made by mixing of TiO2 and graphite 14% (TiO2:C14%). TiO2:C14% colloid is deposited on a conductive glass substrate Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide (FTO) by spin coating method at 500, 1000 and 1500 rpm during 50 second. Then, the layer is soaked of 24 hours in dye taken from the extract of rosella. SEM and XRD characterization are performed for looking properties of DSSC materials. The efficiency of DSSC is calculated by using the characteristic circuit IV curve. The highest efficiency value is obtained when the thickest active layer (0,9 mm) at 500 rpm, the resulting efficiency is 0,014%.

In this paper, ZnO nanopowders and dye sensitized solar cells were prepared by sol-gel and screen printing method, respectively. First, ZnO nanopowders were synthesized by using zinc acetate, ethanol and diethanolamined as raw materials. The effects of Zn2+ molar concentration on the microstructure and photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO nanopowders were investigated. When Zn2+molar concentration were 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M and 1.2M, ZnO nanoparticles with diameter of about 80~100nm were obtained. When Zn2+ molar concentration reached 2.4M, ZnO nanobowls consisted of nanoparticles with diameter about 80~100nm were synthesized. When Zn2+molar concentration reached 3.6M, ZnO nanoparticles were obtained, and particle size distribution of obtained ZnO nanoparticles became broader. Methyl orange degradation rate of ZnO nanopowders prepared with 0.4M, after treated by ultraviolet radiation for 8 hours, were up to 88.5%. ZnO nanopowders prepared with 1.2M and 3.6M were assembled into solar cells. The properties of the solar cell prepared with 1.2M were optimal. The short-circuit photocurrent, open-circuit photovoltage, fill factor and efficiency were 14.72 mA/cm2, 0.649V, 0.332 and 0.914%, respectively.

ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using hydrothermal and sol-gel techniques using zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn (CH3COO)2.2H2O) as a row material and methanol as a solvent. The structural properties of ZnO NPs were studied using EDX, XRD, TEM, and the optical properties were characterized using UV-VIS and PL spectroscopies. The synthesized ZnO NPs showed high purity and revealed a wurtzite (hexagonal) crystal structure with particle size (D) ranged from 25 nm to 28 nm. The UV-VIS absorption spectra of ZnO NPs samples and sensitizing dyes were performed. The obtained ZnO NPs exhibited the direct optical bandgap 3.15 eV. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using synthesized ZnO NPs as a semiconducting layer, which was dyed with different low cost dyes such as Eosin B (EB), Eosin Y (EY) and Rhodamine B (RB) that was used to sensitize the photoanode (ZnO NPs). The experimental results showed a significant efficiency for the fabricated DSSCs of synthesized ZnO NPs via sol gel technique comparing to hydrothermal technique. The EY dye exhibited the best performance among others, where a conversion efficiency showed a noteworthy improvement from 0.12 to 1.08 %.

Effect Of Surface

The effect of surface modification to dye-adsorbed TiO2 electrodes in alkoxysilyl dye-sensitized solar cells on the photovoltaic performance was investigated with using alkylcarboxylic acids with different alkyl-chain lengths as surface modifiers. More effective suppression of a back-electron-transfer reaction was observed with the increment of the amount of the adsorbed modifier on the dye-adsorbed TiO2 electrode and with lengthening the alkyl chain of the alkylcarboxylic acid. The photovoltaic performance of the cells was confirmed to be improved by the surface modifications of the dye-adsorbed TiO2 electrodes using alkylcarboxylic acids, and the necessities of tuning the surface-modification degree and the selection of the alkyl-chain length with regarding the molecular size of the sensitizing dye were exhibited for the efficient improvement of the photovoltaic performance of the cell.
