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%.

Mangosteen Peel

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the photochemical electrical cells consisting of a photoelectrode, dye, electrolyte, and counter electrode. The manufacture of prototype Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) utilizes carotene from the dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana). This study aims to create a Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and know the efficiency it produces. This Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) consists of a pair of FTO (Flour-doped in oxide) glass intercepts facing each other. The glass acts as an electrode and counter electrode and separated by a redox electrolyte (I- / I3-), arranged to flank each other to form a wafer. In the electrode, is deposited a porous nanocrystalline TiO2 layer, as well as dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana). While on the counter electrode coated with a layer of platinum. This article presents some experimental data on absorbance properties and the conductivity of dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) as an application in DSSC. Absorbance test using Spectrophotometer UV Visible 1601 PC and electrical properties test using Elkahfi 100 / Meter I-V. DSSC fabrication has been done using dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) with coating spin coating technique. The results showed that the dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) had an absorbance spectrum of 380-520 nm range. From the test results using AM 1.5G solar simulator (100 mW / cm2), it was found that the volume of TiO2 precursors affected the performance of DSSC solar cells and the overall conversion efficiency was 0.092%.

Conversion Efficiencies

In this article, dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was fabricated and studied using various organic dyes, which were dissolved in three solvents viz. ethanol, double distilled water and DMSO. Furthermore, these cells were studied using different catalytic materials as counter electrode. Differences in conversion efficiencies were observed when used with platinum, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)- poly(styrenesulphonate)[PEDOT:PSS]-graphite and graphite as a counter electrode. Each electrons generated from dye, after its exposure to sunlight, were injected into conduction band of semiconductor (titanium dioxide). These electrons then were collected for load via fluorine doped tin oxide glass electrode and arrive at counter electrode, to speed up the redox reaction with tri-iodide/iodide (I3 –/I–) electrolyte. Firstly, high efficiencies were obtained for mixture of dyes when compared to results of their individual dyes, thus, showing the influence of mixture of dyes. Secondly varying counter electrode with photosensitizers viz. crystal violet B and Azur I gave conversion efficiency (η) in order platinum ≈ graphite-PEDOT: PSS > graphite.
