LUAS LUBANG FIBER TISSUE PADA DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL DENGAN SISTEM ELEKTROLIT KONTINU BERBASIS INFUS
The fiber tissue hole area in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with an Infusion-Based Continuous Electrolyte System has been studied. Fiber tissue can be used as an electrolyte storage medium in DSSCs because it can withstand evaporation, thus stabilizing the electrolyte availability in the active area. Meanwhile, the infusion-based continuous electrolyte system functions as an electrolyte supplier to maintain electrolyte availability during the electron redox process and dye regeneration. The DSSC in this study was fabricated using a capacitive touchscreen glass substrate measuring 3 cm × 3 cm × 0.1113 cm with an active area of 2 cm × 2 cm. The fiber tissue layer used was four-layer facial tissue measuring 2 cm × 2 cm, placed between the working electrode and the reference electrode. This study used a total of 10 samples, consisting of 1 control sample (A0B0) without fiber tissue and without continuous electrolyte, and 9 samples with a combination of factor A treatment in the form of a square hole area in the fiber tissue layer (A1: 0.75 cm × 0.75 cm; A2: 1 cm × 1 cm; A3: 1.25 cm × 1.25 cm) and factor B in the form of electrolyte infusion discharge (B1: 0.1 mL/minute; B2: 0.3 mL/minute; B3: 0.5 mL/minute). The results showed that the addition of a fiber tissue layer with variations in the hole area and electrolyte discharge and the interaction of both in a continuous electrolyte system based on infusion relatively affected the performance of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell, especially on efficiency and fill factor. The variation of the hole area of the Dye Sensitized Solar Cell produces the highest efficiency and fill factor respectively, which are 0.1929% at an area of 1cm x 1cm and 0.267 at an area of 0.75 cm x 0.75 cm. While the electrolyte discharge produces the highest efficiency and fill factor respectively, which are 0.1765% at a discharge of 0.3 mL per minute and 0.2709 at a discharge of 0.1 mL per minute. The combination of the hole area in the fiber tissue layer and continuous electrolyte discharge based on infusion produces the highest efficiency and fill factor respectively, which are 0.2999% at a combination of a discharge of 0.3 mL per minute with an area of 1cm x 1cm; and 0.2847 at a combination of a discharge of 0.1 mL per minute with an area of 0.75 cm x 0.75cm. The best Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell performance was achieved with a fiber tissue hole area of 1 cm × 1 cm and a continuous electrolyte discharge of 0.3 mL per minute, with electrical voltages of Voc: 818 mV, Isc: 0.2990 mA, Vmax: 427 mV, Imax: 0.1460 mA, Fill Factor (FF): 0.2549, and efficiency: 0.2999%.
