摘要

In this work, different varieties of dye sensitized solar cells are fabricated by simple fabrication process. In this fabrication extract of butea monosperma flower, methylene blue and methyl orange dyes are used as sensitizers. The photovoltaic performance of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been studied. The performances of two different types of photo-electrodes are also tested in this work. The morphology and bandgap of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) and ZnO (Zinc oxide) was observed from XRD, FTIR spectroscopy and UV-vis Spectrum. It is found that TiO2 based DSSCs have better performance. It also observed that the current density and efficiency was increased from 7.46 to 12.9 mA/cm2 and from 1.34 to 6.8% respectively when using methyl orange as a dye. Hence it can be said that methyl orange dye enhanced the photovoltaic performance of DSSC.
