Abstract

The increase in energy demand and reduced energy reserve, other alternative energy sources that are more environmentally friendly are needed, one of which is solar cells. Among several types of solar cells, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell is a type of solar cell that can produce electricity more efficiently. One of the ways to optimize DSSC efficiency is by modifying the counter electrode. PAN and rGO were selected and investigated for their characteristics because they can potentially develop high-efficiency DSSCs. The PAN-rGO counter electrode was prepared by screen printing with various PAN 5%, 10%, and 15% against therphinol solvent and characterization of the structure, morphology, optical properties, and DSSC efficiency using XRD, SEM-EDX, UV-Vis, and solar simulator I-V. The analysis results confirmed that increasing the concentration of PAN decreased crystal size and reduced particle size distribution and band gap values. The sample's highest efficiency value was recorded at a PAN concentration of 15%, which is 1.47% in the wavelength range of 325 nm with band gap energy of 3.83eV and particle size distribution of 162.15 nm. This result shows that PAN-rGO as a counter electrode can successfully be applied to DSSC.
