Abstract

The exploration of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC), especially regarding the photoanode, is steadily advancing. widely recognized, the photoanode plays a key role in absorbing light and facilitating electron generation, which is essential for the efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). TiO2 is frequently used as photoanode due to its excellent stability and ability to effectively support dye molecules. However, in terms of enhancing light absorption and the electron transfer rate, doping with Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) in TiO2-based photoanodes has gained attention as a promising approach to improve efficiency. In this research, Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) were added to TiO2 to enhance its properties. Red CQDs and Yellow CQDs were incorporated into TiO2 at a concentration of 5%. The resulting composite materials were characterized using XRD, UV-Vis, and I-V measurements with a solar simulator. The XRD pattern confirmed the crystalline structure of TiO2 with incorporated CQDs. The optical properties of the CQD-TiO2 composites were analyzed through UV-Vis spectroscopy, revealing changes in light absorption. The DSSC performance parameters, including Jsc, Voc, FF, and η, were determined through I-V characterization using a solar simulator. The best DSSC performance was obtained by the sample with the addition of 5% Yellow CQDs, with an efficiency of 3.42%

Abstract

Currently, the world is facing a major crisis related to the lack of sustainable, safe, and environmentally friendly energy resources. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC), another name for third-generation solar cells, have gained a lot of interest due to ease of production, cheapness, and environmental friendliness. The photoanode is among DSSC's most crucial components. In this research, the active layer on the TiO2 photoanode was optimized to improve the efficiency of the DSSC. The active layer was deposited using Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on an Indium tin oxide-polyethylene naphthalate (ITO-PEN) substrate. The sputtering temperature was varied to 25, 80, 120, and 160℃ for one hour. The thin film TiO2/ITO-PEN photoanode will be characterized by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and solar simulator. The XRD analysis shows that the best crystal size is 14.55 nm for a sputtering temperature of 80℃. According to the UV-Vis data, optical absorption increases with increasing sputtering temperature. The wavelength range where the absorption peak occurs is 252–465 nm, and the smallest value of the energy gap is found at a sputtering temperature of 25℃ with a value of 3.02 eV. For the TiO2/ITO-PEN thin layer, the maximum efficiency was achieved at 0.12% at a sputtering temperature of 25°C.
