Effect of dye variation on DSSC efficiency

Abstract

DSSC is a solar cell that utilizes a dye to absorb light [1]. One of the components affecting DSSC performance is dye. Dye serves to absorb the energy of sunlight that produces electrons. Dye has a characteristic absorption area. Only solar radiation of a certain wavelength is converted into electrical energy [2]. The red color obtained from Hibiscus extract has an efficiency of 0.0341%. The blue color obtained from Telang flower extract has an efficiency of 0.0183%. The green color obtained from pteridophyta extract has an efficiency of 0.0513%. The yellow color obtained from chrysanthemum extract has an efficiency of 0.0414%. Then the image of Universitas Sebelas Maret logo will be made on the surface of DSSC so it can add aesthetic value.
