The study of stability and optical properties of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based extract of Musa Acuminata bracts have been done.Banana flowers extract was used as photoactive material because it contains anthocyanin. This study focuses on the optimization of semiconductor, natural pigment, and the counter electrode.The ZnO coating used spray coating method. Anthocyanin and polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating were conducted using droplet method.Fabrication of plated copper counter electrode was performed using the electrochemical method. PEDOT:PSS electrolyte is coated on the final process after the two electrodes are coupled by inserting between the two electrodes. The highest efficiency reached 6.24x10-2%. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
