TiO2 Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Cathode Using Recycle Battery

This paper proposed an alternative source of carbon material from recycled battery for the fabrication of cathode of a Dye Sensitized Solar Cell. Carbon from recycle battery is extracted and used to fabricate the cathode part of a Dye sensitized solar cell by using TiO2 as the anode. The both anode and cathode is fabricated on a 6 × 2 cm ITO coated glass and then tested under the solar irradiance of 693.69 w/m2 and average temperature 44.4 °C. Result shows that by using carbon from a recycle battery a Voc of 0.333 V and short circuit current of 166.04 μA is produce.
