Mangosteen peel is an inedible portion of a fruit. We are interested in using these residues as components of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Carbonized mangosteen peel was used with mangosteen peel dye as a natural counter electrode and a natural photosensitizer, respectively. A distinctive mesoporous honeycomb-like carbon structure with a rough nanoscale surface was found in carbonized ma...

Energi radiasi matahari merupakan energi yang sedang giat dikembangkan saat ini. Indonesia negara sangat berpotensi untuk mengembangkan sel surya dikarenakan letak posisi berada di wilayah garis khatulistiwa (tropis). Sel alat mampu merubah sinar menjadi listrik. Teknologi telah ini adalah Dye Sensitized Solar Cell. menggunakan bahan kaca Indium Tin Oxide, dye titanium dioxide, cairan elektroli...

An azo dye used as photosensitizers in Dye-sensitized solar cells DSSCs. Azo dyes economically superior to organometallic dyes because they are color variation and cheap. The spectrophotometric evaluation of an azo dye in solution and on a TiO2 substrate show that the dye form J-aggregation on the nanostructured TiO2 substrate. Oxidation potential measurements for used azo dyes ensured an energ...

A nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) nanosheet exposing mainly the (001) crystal faces was tested as photoanode material in dye-sensitized solar cells. The nanosheets were prepared by hydrothermal growth in HF medium. Good-quality thin films were deposited on F-doped SnO2 support from the TiO2 suspension in ethanolic or aqueous media. The anatase (001) face adsorbs a smaller amount of the used dye ...

Advances in solar cell technology require designing of new organic dye sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells with high power conversion efficiency to circumvent the disadvantages of silicon-based solar cells. In silico studies including quantitative structureproperty relationship analysis combined with quantum chemical analysis were employed to understand the primary electron transfer mech...
