Abstract

Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is a solar device that works based on the principle of electrochemistry, where the sensitive dye is absorbed by the TiO2 photoelectrode layer. The disadvantage of this solar DSSC is that it still has low efficiency compared to silicon solar cells. This study investigates the addition of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) to the TiO2 layer. The semiconductor layer is made in the form of a hybrid between rGO and TiO2. The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of DSSC by adding hydrazine hydrate to the rGO/TiO2 hybrid as a photoanode. The method used in this study was to add hydrazine hydrate 4 ml, 5 ml, 6 ml, 7 ml, and 8 ml. Tests carried out on the DSSC that had been made were current and voltage tests using a solar simulator to determine the changes in electric current that occurred. The conclusion of this study was that there was an increase in current with the addition of hydrazine hydrate. The results of the test using the highest current solar simulator were 56.00 µA with the addition of 7 ml of hydrazine hydrate.
