In this report, we utilized Piper ornatum (PO) and Piper betle (PB) as sensitizer to fabricate low cost DSSCs. We compared the photovoltaic performance of both sensitizers with Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Tin dioxide (SnO2) semiconductors. The results show that PO and PB dyes have higher Short circuit current (Jsc) when applied in SnO2 compared to standard TiO2 photo-anode film even though the Open circuit voltage (Voc) was hampered on SnO2 device. In conclusion, from the result, higher electron injections can be achieved by choosing appropriate semiconductors with band gap that match with dyes energy level as one of strategy for further low cost solar cell. ## Keywords - Dye-sensitized solar cell - Piper - Titanium dioxide - Semiconductor - Open-circuit voltage - Solar cell - Anode - Materials science - Photovoltaic system - Energy conversion efficiency - Nanotechnology - Chemistry - Optoelectronics - Electrode - Voltage - Electrical engineering - Metallurgy - Engineering - Electrolyte - Medicine - Traditional medicine - Physical chemistry --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
