Abstract
DSSC was kind of solar cell based on dye as sensitizer or photon absorber. Scattering layer method used to optimize photon scattered process on working electrode. In this research, variation temperature annealing of scattering layer have done to find out the effect toward DSSC’s efficiency. TiO 2 nanopowder and TiO 2 transparent are used as semiconductor layer and scattering layer, respectively which deposited with spin coating method. Platinum was deposited on counter electrode with brush painting method. TiO 2 nanopowder was annealed at 400 o C, while scattering layer were annealed at variation temperature i.e. 400 o C, 450 o C, 500 o C, and 550 o C. Dye Ruthenium Complex N719 was used as sensitizer on DSSC’s structure. Result of XRD characterization on working electrode show that highest crystallite size is 18.92 nm with annealing process of scattering layer at 450 o C and decreased when the temperature is over 400 o C. Photovoltaic characterization used Keithley I-V meter. The annealing process of scattering layer at temperature 450 o C has good photovoltaic parameter. This cell has short circuit current ( I sc ) is A, open circuit voltage ( V oc ) is 0.39 V, and fill factor is 0.51. The value of V oc was influenced by the absorption of dye in TiO 2 layer. Annealing scattering layer at 450 o C produce crystallite structure with higher TiO 2 surface area, it can optimize photon absorption of dye more than the annealing process over 450 o C. Scattering layer which annealing at 450 o C can increase efficiency of DSSC cells from % to %.
