Abstract:

In this study, we report well performance of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) coated with copper (Cu) by using the electroplating method. The Cu nanoparticle was impregnated into the pore of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film. Particle contact between Cu and TiO2 plays important role to reduce the recombination effect of the electron and also lead to increase the electron transport in DSSC cell. Here, we used natural dye extracted from black rice and carbon from black ink as counter electrode. It is found that efficiency of DSSC coated with Cu nanoparticle is higher than pure DSSC which is obtained from I-V characterization. It shows that efficiency of DSSC is about 0.019% without coating Cu and enhanced about 0.105% after coating Cu. The analysis of internal resistance of DSSC was measured from Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) characterization.
