Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to fabricate banana flower extracts-based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using spin coating method. DSSC is made of photoactive material of banana extract by spincoating method and thermal evaporation, using indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. Spincoater speed, coating duration and heating temperature are fixed as controlled variables, anthocyanin pH is fixed as independent variable, while optical and electrical properties of solar cell device are fixed as dependent variables. The anthocyanin content decreased as well as the pH increased and the voltage knee also increased. The pH enhance has caused the current generation of device decreased.
