Performance of DSSC transparent based on hybrid Dn-F015 with spinach chlorophyll dye

Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics of DSSC using dye synthesis type DN-F015. Sensitization of dye solar cells consists of FTO/TiO2/dyes/electrolytes/platinum/FTO. Characterization of optical properties (absorbance spectrum) and electrical properties (conductivity) were tested in natural organic dye solutions and synthetic dyes for DSSC performance. The optical properties of natural organic dyes and synthetic dyes were tested using a UV Visible Spectrophotometer 1601 PC, while the electrical properties were tested using an El-Kahfi I-V Meter in dark and light conditions, DSSC I-V characterization was tested using Keithley Type 2602A. The highest conductivity yield in the ratio of synthetic dyes: Natural dyes (0.5 mg: 10 gr) is 0.012 (ω-1m-1). The characteristics of I-V were measured using Keithley Type 2602A. An energy conversion efficiency (η) of 0.25% was obtained under irradiated sunlight simulator AM 1.5 (1000 mW/cm2), indicating an increase. Most significant VOC value in the rate of 0.5 mg was 0.64 volts, the addition of Dn-F015 type synthesis dye can increase DSSC performance efficiently.
