Abstract

Dye sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is solar cell candidate having great potential in the future because low fabrication costs and basic material is good environmentally. This study aims to determine the effect of the type of screen on the TiO₂ layer as the working electrode DSSC. The working electrode in the TiO2 based DSSC fabricated by the method of screen printing double layer. Screen used in the deposition of TiO2 has the type: T-49, T-55 and T-61. TiO₂ layer in the sintering at a temperature of 500⁰ C. DSSC structure composed of semiconductor TiO₂ tersensitasi Ruthenium dye and a platinum counter electrode. TiO₂ layer was tested morphology with Digital Camera Microscopy (DCM) and thickness with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while absorbance tested with UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and the electrical properties of DSSC tested with Keithley I-V Measurenment. Based on the characterization I-V obtained the greatest efficiency in the samples deposited by screen T - 49 was 0.47% .
