Abstract

DSSC solar cells are predicted to be energy conversion devices for the next generation, therefore various developments are carried out to improve the performance of DSSC solar cells. A research is conducted in this paper on the process of making ZnO nanofiber as a DSSC photoanode using an electrospinning machine. Direct deposition method is used to directly spray ZnO precursor solution on conductive glass deposited with TiO2. The rotating collector is used to uniform and to reduce the size of the resulting nanofiber structure. The size reduction of the resulting nanofiber can improve the performance of DSSC photoanode. Variations of precursor discharge 2, 4, 6, and 8 μL/minute are used to determine their effects on the morphological arrangement of the resulting ZnO nanofibers. From the results of this study, the most uniform nanofiber results and the smallest average size are obtained from the use of the lowest flow rate variation, which is 2 ml/min.

Keyphrases: DSSC, Electrospinning, rotating drum collector, variations of precursor discharge
