The investigation of new photosensitizers for Grätzel-type organic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) remains a topic of interest for researchers of alternative solar cell materials. Over the past 20 years, considerable and increasing research efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of new materials, based on “donor, π-conjugated bridge, acceptor” (D–π–A) organic dye photosensitizers. In this paper, the computational chemistry methods are outlined and the design of organic sensitizers (compounds, dyes) is discussed. With reference to recent literature reports, rational molecular design is demonstrated as an effective process to study structure–property relationships. Examples from established organic dye sensitizer structures, such as TA-St-CA, Carbz-PAHTDDT (S9), and metalloporphyrin (PZn-EDOT), are used as reference structures for an examination of this concept applied to generate systematically modified structural derivatives and hence new photosensitizers (i.e., dyes). Using computer-aided rational design (CARD), the in silico design of new chromophores targeted an improvement in spectral properties via the tuning of electronic structures by substitution of molecular fragments, as evaluated by the calculation of absorption profiles. This mini review provides important rational design strategies for engineering new organic light-absorbing compounds towards improved spectral absorption and related optoelectronic properties of chromophores for photovoltaic applications, including the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).

Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis nanopartikel TiO2 menggunakan metode sol-gel dengan pelarut air. Pada proses sintesis ditambahkan kitosan dengan konsentrasi 0; 2,5; 5; dan 10% v/v. TiO2hasil sintesis kemudian dikarakterisasi dengan menggunakan SEM, XRD, dan BET  untuk mengetahui morfologi,  struktur kristal, dan karakteristik pori. Selain itu keempat variasi TiO2diaplikasikan sebagai foto elektroda DSSC. Karakterisasi DSSC dilakukan dengan menggunakan solar simulator AM 1,5 untuk mengetahui karakteristik I-V DSSC. Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan penambahan kitosan pada konsentrasi rendah (2,5% v/v) mengurangi fasa anatase pada kristal  TiO2dan cenderung memperbesar ukuran kristalit. Penambahan kitosan melebihi 5% meningkatkan fasa anatase dan memperkecil ukuran kristalit. Konsentrasi kitosan 2,5% memperkecil luas permukaan spesifik partikel dan volume total pori. Peningkatan konsentrasi kitosan memberi hasil sebaliknya. Performa DSSC terbaik didapat pada TiO2 dengan konsentrasi kitosan 2,5% saat sintesis, dengan Voc = 0,58 V, Jsc = 0,74 mA/cm , dan η = 0,51%.Kata kunci: titanium dioksida, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell, kitosan
