ABSTRACT
In this study, natural dye extracted from onion peel (Allium Cepa)
using Propanol as the solvent for the extraction were used as sensitizers for
DSSC. The prepared DSSC were assembled using glass substrate TCO as the first
layer, Elcocarb as the counter electrode, natural dye anchored TiO2
film as the photoanode, and quasi-solid state electrolyte as an electrolyte
sandwiched in between the two electrodes. The photoelectrochemical performances
of the prepared DSSC were evaluated. Solar simulations were carried out under
varied temperatures such as; 309K, 328K, 333K, 338K, 343K, 348K under light and
dark circumstances. The UV-Vis spectrometry test was carried out, and an
Absorbance peak of 642nm was reached. Profilometry test was done in order to
check and acquire the thickness of the mesoporous TiO2, Elcocarb and
D-TiO2, which the thickness is 60nm, 15500nm and 35500nm
respectively. The efficiency of the cell under different temperatures are;
0.03, 0.04.
