Natural dyes have attracted much researcher’s attention due to their low-cost production, simple synthesis processes and high natural abundance. However the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based natural dyes have higher tendency to degradation. This article reports on the enhancement of performance and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using natural dyes. The natural dyes were extracted from papaya leaves by ethanol solvent at a temperature of 50 °C. Then the extracted dyes were isolated and modified into Mg-chlorophyll using column chromatography. Mg-chlorophyll was then synthesized into Fe-chlorophyll to improve stability. The natural dyes were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The performance of DSSCs was tested using a solar simulator. The results showed the open-circuit voltage, the short-circuit current density, and the efficiency of the extracted papaya leaves-based DSSCs to be 325 mV, 0.36 mA/cm2, and 0.07%, respectively. Furthermore, the DSSCs with purified chlorophyll provide high open-circuit voltage of 425 mV and short-circuit current density of 0.45 mA/cm2. The use of Fe-chlorophyll for sensitizing the DSSCs increases the efficiency up to 2.5 times and the stability up to two times. The DSSCs with Fe-chlorophyll dyes provide open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density, and efficiency of 500 mV, 0.62 mA/cm2, and 0.16%, respectively. Further studies to improve the current density and stability of natural dye-based DSSCs along with an improvement in the anchor between dyes and semiconducting layers are required.

The task of this study is to prepare the TiO2 film electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) on ITO PET substrate using a general jet-printer. The results were compared with that obtained using ITO glass substrate. In this study, the dispersion of TiO2 slurry was manipulated by changing the pH value of the solution to avoid agglomeration of TiO2 particles. The average TiO2 particles used in this study were measured about 130nm. The experimental results show that it has the best performance when the thickness of the TiO2 film was about 10μm. In ITO glass substrate, the measured short circuit current was about 5.03mA, the open circuit voltage was measured to be 0.65V. In ITO-PET substrate, the measured short circuit current was about 2.73mA, the open circuit voltage was measured to be 0.68V.
