Abstract

DSSC is a permanent alternative energy device in the form of environmentally friendly photoelectrochemical as a renewable energy source. So, the Efficiency of DSSC is still varied and relatively low. Therefore, in this study, a study was conducted on the effect of the composition of rGO/TiO₂ as a photoanode on the performance of DSSC. This research was carried out in four stages, namely deposition of blocking layer BL-1 with spin coating method, manufacture of mesoporous (x)rGO/TiO₂ composite by screen printing method with (x)rGO mass of immersion of thin film (x)rGO/TiO₂ with dye, and fabrication of DSSC. The characterization used in this research is X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) to determine the crystal phase, crystal size, and crystal structure, Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) to determine the surface morphology and constituent elements of the sample, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) to determine the functional groups, UV-Vis, and I-V tests to determine the optical properties and performance of DSSC. The XRD data analysis of the sample (x)rGO/TiO₂ showed that the TiO₂ in the sample had a tetragonal crystal system rutile phase. The SEM results showed that the morphology of the (x)rGO/TiO₂ film was porous with the highest porosity of 83% so that it could increase dye absorption. Based on the UV-Vis results, the lowest band gap energy was 3.21 eV. DSSC performance based on the results of the I-V test analysis showed increased Efficiency if the concentration of rGO also increased, with the highest Efficiency of 1.16%.
