“…The PSS plays a crucial role in the stability of PEDO dispersion, owing to its negative charge as the counter ion while doping to the PE PSS has ester sulphate (-SO3H) functional group as the hydrophilic part that assis dispersion in PEDOT:PSS [14]. PEDOT:PSS is used mostly as a counter electrode w efficiency from 2-7%, reportedly [3,4,8].…”

“…In 1991, the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was presented by Grätzel and O’Regan for the first time [ 1 , 2 ] as promising third-generation solar cells, owing to the low cost of raw materials [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], the simple fabrication process [ 6 , 7 ] and relatively good energy conversion efficiency [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. The DSSC is composed of a dye adsorbed with a semiconductor oxide as photoanode, an electrolyte and a counter electrode material [ 11 ].…”

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) has been mostly used as a counter electrode to give a high performance of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Recently, PEDOT doped by carrageenan, namely PEDOT:Carrageenan, was introduced as a new material to be applied on DSSC as an electrolyte. PEDOT:Carrageenan has a similar synthesis process as PEDOT:PSS, owing to their similar ester sulphate (-SO3H) groups in both PSS and carrageenan. This review provides an overview of the different roles between PEDOT:PSS as a counter electrode and PEDOT:Carrageenan as an electrolyte for DSSC applications. The synthesis process and characteristics of PEDOT:PSS and PEDOT:Carrageenan were also described in this review. In conclusion, we found that the primary role of PEDOT:PSS as a counter electrode is to transfer electrons back to cell and accelerate redox reaction with its superior electrical conductivity and high electrocatalytic activity. PEDOT:Carrageenan as an electrolyte has not shown the main role for regenerating the dye sensitized at the oxidized state, probably due to its low ionic conductivity. Therefore, PEDOT:Carrageenan still obtained a low performance of DSSC. Additionally, the future perspective and challenges of using PEDOT:Carrageenan as both electrolyte and counter electrode are described in detail.

In conclusion, we found that PEDOT:PSS as counter electrode has the main roles of transferring electrons from the external circuit and accelerating the reduction reaction of redox coupled with its high electrical conductivity and high electrocatalytic activity. As electrolyte, PEDOT:Carrageenan has not shown the main role as an electron transfer from counter electrode to regenerate the dye-sensitized at the oxidized state due to its low ionic conductivity. Therefore, PEDOT:Carrageenan still obtained a low performance of DSSCs. Additionally, the future perspective and challenges of using PEDOT:Carrageenan as both electrolyte and counter electrode are described in detail.
