【 摘 要 】

The working electrode based on semiconductor TiO2DSSC has been fabricated by screen printing method. This study aim is to determine the effect of the screen type on TiO2layer as the working electrode of DSSC. Screen used for deposition of TiO2has the types of; T- 49, T-55 and T-61. TiO2layer was sintered at temperature of 500°C. DSSC structure was composed of semiconductor TiO2adsorbed dye, an electrolyte solution and a platinum counter electrode. TiO2layer thickness was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while the absorbance was characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and the electrical properties of DSSC were characterized by Keithley I-V measurement. TiO2layer fabricated by screen T-49 had the biggest thickness that was 3.2 0.3 μm and the highest UV-Vis absorbance wave at the peak wavelength of 315 nm with the absorbance value was 1.7. The I-V characterization showed that the sample fabricated by screen T-49 obtained the greatest efficiency that was 1.0 × 10-1%.
