Abstract

This article showed the effect of single and mixture natural dyes on the DSSC performance. The single dyes extracted from moss chlorophyll and mangosteen peels anthocyanin. The dyes mixture was prepared by mixing from both chlorophyll and anthocyanin. The absorbance of dyes solution and the adsorption of the dye onto the working electrode were analyzed using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The photocurrent-photovoltage of DSSCs were measured using I-V meter. The dyes mixture has an increased absorption at visible spectrum range as compared to single dye. The adsorption of the dyes mixture onto the TiO2 electrode has higher absorbance than single dye. The DSSC with single dye from moss chlorophyll and mangosteen peels anthocyanin resulted the conversion efficiency of 0.049% and 0.042% respectively. The dyes mixture of chlorophyll and anthocyanin improved the conversion efficiency of 0.154%.
