Dye Sensitized

The molecular dye is an essential component of the Dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC), and improvements in efficiency over the last 15 years have been achieved by tailoring the optoelectronic properties of the dye. The most successful dyes are based on ruthenium bipyridyl compounds, which are characterized by a large absorption coefficient in the visible part of the solar spectrum, good adsorption properties, excellent stability, and efficient electron injection. However, ruthenium-based compounds are relatively expensive, and organic dyes with similar characteristics and even higher absorption coefficients have recently been reported; solar cells with efficiencies of up to 9% have been reported. Organic dyes with a higher absorption coefficient could translate into thinner nanostructured metal oxide films, which would be advantageous for charge transport both in the metal oxide and in the permeating phase, allowing for the use of higher viscosity materials such as ionic liquids, solid electrolytes or hole conductors. Organic dyes used in the DSSC often bear a resemblance to dyes found in plants, fruits, and other natural products, and several dye-sensitized solar cells with natural dyes have been reported. This paper gives an over-view of the recent works in DSSC using the natural dyes as chromophores.

Solid state dye-sensitized solar cell (ss-DSSC) was developed to overcome the problem arise from electrolyte leakage in liquid state dye-sensitized solar cell. This work focused on the fabrication of ss-DSSC based on inorganic semiconductor of titania and organic conducting polymer of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and natural dyes from purple seaweed (PS dyes) via electrochemical, spin coating and dip coating method, respectively. The absorption spectrum and functional group of PS dyes were investigated using UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy; respectively. Meanwhile, the effect of immersion time of PS dyes on performance of the device was studied via current density-voltage (J-V) characteristic. PS dye was absorbed in a wide range of solar spectrum in visible and near-IR region by chlorophyll a, phycocyanin and zeaxanthin pigments exists in the PS dyes. The present of carboxylic groups in PS dyes which bound to P3HT and formed P3HT-COOH enable the linkage to TiO2 surface which helps in the transfer of electrons from natural dyes to the conduction band of TiO2 film. The highest efficiency obtained was 1.44% at 10 minutes time of immersion. This concludes that PS dyes was a good photosensitizer and can be applied in ss-DSSC.

Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis nanopartikel TiO2 menggunakan metode sol-gel dengan pelarut air. Pada proses sintesis ditambahkan kitosan dengan konsentrasi 0; 2,5; 5; dan 10% v/v. TiO2hasil sintesis kemudian dikarakterisasi dengan menggunakan SEM, XRD, dan BET  untuk mengetahui morfologi,  struktur kristal, dan karakteristik pori. Selain itu keempat variasi TiO2diaplikasikan sebagai foto elektroda DSSC. Karakterisasi DSSC dilakukan dengan menggunakan solar simulator AM 1,5 untuk mengetahui karakteristik I-V DSSC. Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan penambahan kitosan pada konsentrasi rendah (2,5% v/v) mengurangi fasa anatase pada kristal  TiO2dan cenderung memperbesar ukuran kristalit. Penambahan kitosan melebihi 5% meningkatkan fasa anatase dan memperkecil ukuran kristalit. Konsentrasi kitosan 2,5% memperkecil luas permukaan spesifik partikel dan volume total pori. Peningkatan konsentrasi kitosan memberi hasil sebaliknya. Performa DSSC terbaik didapat pada TiO2 dengan konsentrasi kitosan 2,5% saat sintesis, dengan Voc = 0,58 V, Jsc = 0,74 mA/cm , dan η = 0,51%.Kata kunci: titanium dioksida, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell, kitosan
