The proposed device architecture suppresses the optical loss to a greater extent (around 30%). Sensitizers were ruthenium-based N719 dye in the top electrode, while the newly synthesized phthalocyanine dye (PC25) corresponding to photon harvesting in the near infrared (NIR) region (up to 900 nm) was used in the TCO-less bottom cell. Open circuit voltage (Voc) ≥ 1.18 V (sum of top cell and bottom cell Voc) justifies the TCO-less tandem DSSC formation. ## Keywords - Dye-sensitized solar cell - Materials science - Indium tin oxide - Tandem - Transparent conducting film - Optoelectronics - Electrode - Tin oxide - Solar cell - Layer (electronics) - Electrical conductor - Oxide - Fabrication - Nanotechnology - Doping - Chemistry - Composite material - Electrolyte - Medicine - Physical chemistry - Metallurgy - Pathology - Alternative medicine --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
