ANALISIS EFISIENSI ENERGI DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL (DSSC) MENGGUNAKAN PIGMEN ANTOSIANIN, PIGMEN KURKUMIN, DAN PIGMEN KLOROFIL SEBAGAI SENSITIZER
The increasing global energy demand and depletion of fossil fuel resources have accelerated the development of environmentally friendly photovoltaic technologies, including Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). Natural pigments have attracted considerable attention as alternative sensitizers due to their low cost, renewability, and eco-friendly properties. However, studies combining anthocyanin, chlorophyll, and curcumin within a single DSSC system remain limited. This study aims to analyze the energy conversion efficiency of DSSCs employing single and combined natural pigments as sensitizers. This research was conducted as a laboratory-based experimental study using a quantitative approach. Four DSSC samples were fabricated using anthocyanin (red spinach), chlorophyll (green spinach), curcumin (turmeric), and an equal-ratio combination of the three pigments. Optical characterization was performed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine absorption spectra, while photovoltaic performance was evaluated under a solar simulator with AM 1.5G irradiation at 100 mW/cm² to obtain Voc, Jsc, fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (η).The results indicate that the combined pigment exhibited broader light absorption and achieved the highest open-circuit voltage of 0.69 V and maximum efficiency of 0.0277%. Compared to single pigments, the combined sensitizer demonstrated superior photovoltaic performance. These findings suggest that natural pigment co-sensitization is a promising strategy for enhancing DSSC performance as a sustainable third-generation solar cell technology.
