Abstract

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) has attracted researcher attentions because of its ability in converting light and has good performance at relatively low costs. The highest conversion efficiency is 4%. Musa acuminata bracts extract and a spin coating method are used. DSSC is fabricated based on musa acuminata bracts extract in a variation of mass fraction 0.1–0.5 with an increase of 0.1. The absorbances of organic dyes are determined using Vis-Nir and the highest one is found at 0.3 mass fraction with a wavelength spectrum of 500-600 nm. Conversion efficiency is determined using the Nachriebe 101 tool. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
