Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is a photoelectrochemical solarcell that uses electrolytes as the cargo transport medium. Gratzeldeveloped it as an alternative resource through the discovery of thelatest solar cell material by mimicking the photosynthesis processcalled photo-electrochemical reactions. According to the researchof Saputra, flavonoids can be used as dyes in Dye-Sensitized SolarCells, while Yanti in 2014 studied the agarwood leaf extract thatcontained flavonoids and chlorophyll. This study aimed to design,build, and test Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell by testing the lightabsorption, and the Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell usingAgarwood Chlorophyll. This research extracted the Gyrinopsversteegii that was grouped into young, medium and old leaves.With the same dose of extract, 15 grams of agarwood leaves weredissolved in 96% ethanol for 100 ml. The results showed that eventhough the maximum absorption power was the same, or 4.00, themedium leaves absorbed the light more than its wavelength range.The DSSC performance test results obtained the voltages of theyoung, medium, and old agarwood leaves that were 0.398 V, 0.399V, and 0.369 V. The currents of those leaves were 0.01 mA, 0.01mA, and 0.01 mA respectively.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The research of solar cell with using dye from natural materials as a sensitizer in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) continues to grow. One advantage of the DSSC is does not require a material with high purity so that the production cost is relatively low. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of the absorption band of teak leaf extract. Extraction of teak leaves dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and acetic acid with a variation ratio of 1: 0, 1: 1 and 5.66: 1, resulting in a solution of each color reddish yellow, reddish brown and dark red. Absropsi test results with UV-Vis spectrometer showed that there are peaks in the absorbance in the visible region, ie at wavelengths between 500 nm to 560 nm. This shows that the dye material of teak leaf extract may work or absorb the green color. While absobption other peaks are also found in pektrum wavelength of 580 nm, 600 nm and 660 nm, each of which can absorb the green color yellow, orange and red. ©2016 JNSMR UIN Walisongo.

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) constitutes a solar cell using natural dyes from plants that are adsorbed in semiconductors to convert solar energy into electrical energy. DSSC has relatively inexpensive fabrication costs, is easy to produce, works in visible light, and is environmentally friendly. The disadvantage of DSSC is that its efficiency is still low compared to silicon solar cells. This low efficiency is due to obstacles in the flow of electric current on DSSC. In this study, DSSC has been successfully fabricated with the deposition of clathrin protein from cow brain. The zwitterions effect of protein on cow brain is able to reduce resistance and increase electric current on DSSC. The zwitterions effect of cow brain protein that fills gaps or empty spaces between TiO2 particles generates acidic reactions (capturing electrons) and bases (releasing electrons); hence, proteins in the cow brain are able to function as electron bridges between TiO2 molecules and generate an increase in electric current in DSSC. The method used in this research was to deposit clathrin protein from cow brain in a porous TiO2 semiconductor with a concentration of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. Tests carried out on DSSC that have been performed were X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) testing to determine the crystal structure formed, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) testing to determine the functional groups formed on DSSC, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) testing to determine the surface morphological characteristics of the DSSC layer, and testing the efficiency using AM 1.5 G solar simulator (1000 W/m2) to determine the efficiency changes that occur in DSSC. From the XRD test results by increasing the concentration of cow brain protein in DSSC, the structure of amino acid crystals also increased and the crystal size increased with the largest crystal size of 42.25 nm at the addition of 75% of cow brain protein. FTIR test results show that the addition of cow brain protein will form functional protein-forming amino groups on DSSC. FTIR analysis shows the sharp absorption of energy by protein functional groups in the FTIR spectrum with increasing concentration of cow brain protein in DSSC. The SEM test results show that the concentration of additional molecules of protein deposited into TiO2 increases and the cavity or pore between the TiO2 molecules decreases. The reduction of cavities in the layers indicates that protein molecules fill cavities that exist between TiO2 molecules. From the results of testing using AM 1.5 G solar simulator (1000 W/m2), the highest efficiency value is 1.465% with the addition of 75% brain protein concentration.

In the current work, ZnO nanoflowers have been synthesized via sol-gel technique using a mixture of zinc-nitratetetrahydrate, ammonia and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Variation in PEG concentration and ammonia evaporation delay time was performed and the resulting nanoflowers have been investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electronmicroscope (SEM). To explore the potential of the resulting ZnO nanorods, a prototype of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been fabricated. For this purpose, the nanorods were grown directly on conducting ITO substrates by nanoseeding technique. With a variation in nano seeding time for 2, 4 and 6 days, followed by hydrothermal process at 80oC for 20 hours, ZnO nanorods with average diameter of 82, 332 and 1385 nm have been synthesized. The performance test showed the resulting open circuit voltage (Voc) was increased from 398 to 486 mV when the diameter of ZnO nanorods increased from 82 to 332 nm. However, the Voc decreased slightly to 456 mV when the nanorods further increased to 1385nm. The phenomenon is related to the interaction between the semiconductor oxide and the Ruthenium complex organic dye.

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
