Extraction of yellow fluorescent Caesalpinia sappan L. dye for photovoltaic application
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In the last couple of years there has been a steady shift towards exploring the possibility of utilizing naturally extracted plant pigments for the role of sensitizer dye in DSSC. Organic or synthetic dyes though efficient have a complex synthesis mechanism apart from being expensive and toxic. In the present study we have tried to examine the various optical and electrochemical properties of alcohol extract from sappan wood or brazilwood via UV–Vis absorption, Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) and cyclic voltammetry analysis. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images of the working electrode (WE) of DSSC were also analyzed. The extracted dye has been successfully used as a sensitizer in DSSC and its performance was measured by current-voltage (I–V) and impedance analysis.
