Abstrak. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis elektrokimia ekstrak klorofil dan antosianin dari daun suji (Pleomele Angustifolia) dan kulit buah naga merah (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) sebagai sensitizer pada Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Klorofil dari daun suji dan antosianin dari kulit buah naga merah diekstraksi menggunakan pelarut etanol. Karakterisasi klorofil dan antosianin dilakukan dengan menggunakan spektrofotometri UV-Visible untuk mengetahui serapan panjang gelombang dan celah pita energi, karakterisasi elektrokimia klorofil dan antosianin dilakukan menggunakan voltametri siklik. Pada penelitian ini dihasilkan klorofil dengan serapan panjang gelombang sebesar 663 nm dan 439 nm sedangkan antosianin pada panjang gelombang 532 nm. Analisis celah pita energi (energy gap) klorofil menghasilkan 2,51 eV dan antosianin 2,1 eV. Karakterisasi elektrokimia menunjukkan bahwa energi HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) pada klorofil sebesar -5,68 eV dan pada antosianin sebesar -5,16 eV. Energi LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) pada klorofil sebesar -3,17 eV dan pada antosianin sebesar -3,06 eV. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak klorofil dan antosianin dari daun suji dan kulit buah naga merah cukup menjanjikan untuk digunakan sebagai fotosensitizer pada DSSC.

In this study, an electrochemical analysis of chlorophyll and anthocyanin extracts from suji (Pleomele Angustifolia) leaves and red dragon fruit skin (Hylocereus Polyrhizus) was conducted as a sensitizer to Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). Chlorophyll from suji leaves and anthocyanins from the skin of red dragon fruit were extracted using ethanol as a solvent. Chlorophyll and anthocyanin characterization was carried out by UV-Visible spectrophotometry to see the absorption of wavelength and energy bandgaps, electrochemical characterization of chlorophyll and anthocyanins was carried out using cyclic voltammetry. In this study, chlorophyll was produced with absorption wavelengths of 663 nm and 439 nm while anthocyanins were at 532 nm wavelengths. Analysis of the energy gap of chlorophyll yields 2.51 eV and anthocyanins 2.1 eV. The electrochemical characterization showed that the energy of HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) in chlorophyll was -5.68 eV and in anthocyanins was -5.16 eV. The energy of LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) in chlorophyll is -3.17 eV and in anthocyanins is -3.06 eV. These results indicate that chlorophyll and anthocyanin extracts from suji leaves and red dragon fruit peel are sufficient to be used as photosensitizers in DSSC.

The rapid development of industry causes the need for fuel and energy to increase, especially fossil fuels (petroleum). This has the effect of an energy crisis. Biomass is of particular concern as one of the renewable energy sources to address the current energy crisis. Biomass consists of hemiselulose, cellulose, and lignin that can be converted into liquids (bio-oils) of pyrolysis. One of the wastes that can be converted into bio-oil is tobacco waste. Tobacco waste is produced by more than 2 million tons eachs. The waste has the potential to be further processed into bio oil using fast pyrolysis method with efficient and quality bio-oil manufacturing measures. The bio-oil results from tobacco waste using the fast pyrolysis method have values of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and other organic compounds and the H/C ratio is greater than the yield of tobacco waste bio-oil using the low pyrolysis method. Where the bio-oil of tobacco waste using the fast pyrolysis method has a high heating value equivalent to the distribution of hydrocarbons from biodiesel, which means it has the potential as an alternative energy to replace petroleum. The potential as a substitute fuel for petroleum must also be balanced with fast and efficient production, maximizing bio-oil production by selecting the reactor and the optimum temperature usedKeywords: Waste, Tobacco, Bio-Oil, Renewable Energy, Fast-pyrolisis
In this study, the quality analysis of chlorophyll and anthocyanin extraction dyes from suji (Pleomele angustifolia) leaves and red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel was extracted using ethanol as a natural dye for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Dye characterization was carried out using UV-visible spectrophotometry to determine the wavelength absorption and bandgap using the Tauc plot method, electrochemical characterization of dye was carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The efficiency of DSSC was measured using a digital multimeter. In this study, chlorophyll was produced with absorption wavelengths at 663 nm and 439 nm while anthocyanin dye was at a wavelength of 532 nm. The bandgap of chlorophyll was calculated to be 2.51 eV and that of anthocyanins to be 2.1 eV using the Tauc plot method.. The electrochemical results shows that chlorophyll dye of suji leaves has HOMO energy (highest occupied molecular orbital) at -5.68 eV and a LUMO energy (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) at -3.17 eV while anthocyanin has HOMO energy of -5.16 eV and a LUMO energy of -3.06 eV. The efficiency produced by DSSC with chlorophyll dye was 3.4163 × 10-3 % and anthocyanins were 6.3994 × 10-3 %. These results show that chlorophyll and anthocyanin dyes from suji leaves and red dragon fruit peel are promising reagents to be used as DSSC dyes.
