“…It was first invented by Professor Graetzel to achieve efficiencies beyond that of silicon solar cells. They can be manufactured cleanly as the fabrication process is low-temperature and is flexible with the use of substrates [2]. Silicon conductors still have one of the highest efficiencies [3], however, moving towards an era of sustainability, it is imperative to further study and enhance the DSSC through research.…”

“…DSSCs are largely manufactured commercially using titanium dioxide, TiO 2 as the semiconductor in the photoanode layer and a ruthenium (Ru) complex dye known as N719. Firstly, radiation from the visible light spectrum is poorly absorbed by TiO 2 [2]. Additionally, DSSCs with TiO 2 based photoanodes have their efficiency limited by the recombination of excited electrons from the dye with the electrolyte, contributing to dark current.…”

Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are an important part of research on renewable energy sources as they are less complicated to manufacture and cost less than several other types of solar cells. The performance of DSSC with a combination of mesoporous zinc oxide and natural dyes are simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics. Numerical expression of the electrical properties of a dye-sensitised solar cell is applied to a two-dimensional structure to form an electrical model. Optical properties of the natural dyes are then coupled with this electrical model. The variables tested are thickness of the photoanode layer and absorption coefficient of dyes. Efficiency of the simulated zinc oxide solar cell with N719 dye is 12.4%. Maximum power of 0.309 µW is obtained at a photoanode thickness of 600 nm with current density of 16.815 mA/cm 2 and voltage of 0.756 V. The natural dyes simulated are chlorophyll, betalain and anthocyanin. Of the three, the one with the highest absorption coefficient i.e., betalain resulted in the highest efficiency solar cell. The results were more favourable than several simulations studying titanium dioxide based DSSC.

<span>This research designed optical sensors using mercury lamp of 160W. These sensors provided voltage and current output. The design of optical sensors used the organic based material,i.e. dye carotene and phycocyanin. Fabrication of optical sensor in this research used spin coating deposition method. Based on the results of absorbance test, dye carotene had the largest absorption of light of 2.882 (a.u). Dye phycocyanin at length had the largest absorption of light of 2.787 (a.u). Combination between dye carotene and phycocyanin, for a 3: 1 (Carotene: Phycocyanin) ratio had a waveform like a dye carotene with a peak of 2.587 (au), whereas for 1: 3 had a waveform like phycocyanin with a peak of 2,279 (au). But, sample 1: 1 ratio had decrement the light absorbance rate with peaks of 1.183 (au). At the voltage testing result, combination of phycocyanin: carotene (1:3) had the best linearity. The response time of dye 3:1 (phycocyanin: carotene), 1:1, 1:3, phycocyanin, and carotene were 6.72 s, 2.469s, 1.171s, 2.66s and 7.01s respectively. </span>

“…Nevertheless, the natural dye becomes more real concurrent to an artificial one, as the efficiency of cell sensitized with this dye remains low [14]. The principle and the research optical sensor from the development of DSSC using TiO2 as the active layer with variation dye has been characterized in the previous research [15,16]. The TiO2 not only has attractive oxide semiconductor for DSSC, but also suitable for sensor applications [17,18].…”

Modified optical sensor based on dye-sensittized solar cell has been successfully fabricated to measure the number of light energy. The electric parameters as the sensor output were achieved from the light illuminance as the sensor input. The measured parameter from optical sensor according to the voltage and current output have been characterized to obtain the sensor performance. In this research, the modified sensor is customized from dye-sensitized solar cell with extracted tobacco chlorophyll dye as the photo-catalysator, photo-electrode of titanium dioxide and Iodine solution for redox reaction. The thick layer deposition with selected material is conducted using spin coating method of 1000 rpm. Based on the absorbance measurement, it shows that tobacco dye has the characteristics of visible light absorption in the wavelength of visible light spectra. The analytical result shows that the sensor has the wide linear characteristic in certain light illuminance and the increasing light intensity produces higher electrical parameter output both current and voltage. This sensor has potential prospect to be used as a light sensor and to be competitive fabrication cost.
