| Abstract | The incomplete combustion of coal fuels produces smoke that is emitted outside, which uses a wet scrubber process to reduce smoke. The waste produced by this process is carbon. This waste carbon can be used as a film material on the counter electrode layer of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The effect of a counter electrode made from waste carbon in factory for dye-sensitized solar cell (WCFCE-DSSC) is presented in this study. For the counter electrode, transparent conductive oxide (TCO) glass was coated with the waste carbon in factory. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was confirmed by crystalline structure of the waste carbon in the factory, which shows peak intensity at the carbon (002) plane and 27.33ฐ (2q). At AM 1.5 and 600 W/m2, the result was that the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and the short-circuit current density (JSC) of the WCFCE-DSC were 0.59 V and 14.7 mA/cm2, the filter factor (FF) and the energy conversion efficiency (h) were 0.87 and 1.27%, respectively. The VOC was lower than all material counter electrodes when compared to the research group using counter electrodes. The energy conversion efficiency is lower because waste carbon in factory may contain impurities that reduce the redox reaction and decrease electron atoms. |
