The study of platinum/carbon black (Pt/CB) versus platinum/single wall carbon nanotubes (Pt/SWCNT) and drying temperature on the result products were investigated. The synthesized of Pt/CB versus Pt/SWCNT were used for coating on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conductive glasses and tested for electrical conductivity properties used for counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).The result products were characterized in term of chemical composition and microstructure by scanning electron microscope technique (SEM), EDX (JEOL,JSM 5800 LV) and TEM analyses.

Telah dilakukan pembuatan counter electrode karbon di atas substrat Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) untuk aplikasi DSSC. Counter electrode karbon dibuat dari; goresan pensil 7B, jelaga api lilin, serta kombinasi goresan pensil dangan jelaga api lilin. Komposisi bahan dasar terdiri dari  serbuk karbon dari pensil, cetyl trymetil ammonium bromide (CTAB) dan TiO2. Hasil karakterisasi mikroskop optik memperlihatkan sumber karbon yang berasal dari jelaga api lilin menghasilkan morfologi permukaan sangat halus dan homogen serta terdistribusi merata pada substrat ITO. Sementara dari foto mikroskop electron (Scanning Electron Microscope, SEM) sampel tersebut memperlihatkan adanya pori-pori. Dari pengukuran karakteristik I-V dihitung efisiensi sel surya yang menggunakan elektroda karbon tersebut.  Efisiensi counter electrode yang diperoleh dari goresan pensil adalah  0,064 %,  jelaga api lilin adalah 0,163%, goresan pensil dan jelaga api lilina dalah  0,088%, jelaga api lilin baru digores pensil 0,008%, campuran serbuk karbon dengan 3 mL air serta 0,1 gram CTAB serta 0,1 gram TiO2 0,065%. Kata Kunci: Karbon, ITO, Counter electrode, DSSC, Efisiensi

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is considered as the next generation low cost photovoltaic device, and one of the important components is the counter electrode which reduces the I3- ions generated after electron injection from iodide into the oxidized sensitizer. In this work composite material of carbon black and LaCoO3 synthesized by sol-gel method has been investigated to replace the platinized counter electrode for quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. From cyclic voltammogram, it was found that carbon black catalyzed with LaCoO3 exhibited increased reduction current compared with that of carbon black without LaCoO3. This was consistent with increased surface roughness depicted from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of DSSCs using carbon black-LaCoO3 composite as counter electrode revealed lower charge-transfer resistance (Rct) than that using carbon black. The highest conversion efficiency of 5.40% was obtained from DSSC (active area 1 cm2) fabricated with quasi-solid composite polymer electrolyte using carbon black-LaCoO3 (95:5 ratio by weight) compared to 5.23% obtained from DSSC equipped with platinum counter electrode. The performances of the quasi-solid-state DSSCs sensitized with N719 and natural dyes were examined and it was concluded that the carbon black-LaCoO3 composite was compatible with platinum coated counter electrode for DSSCs.
