研究目的
Investigating the effect of clathrin protein derived from cow brain in increasing efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC).
研究成果
The addition of cow brain protein to DSSC fills gaps or empty spaces in TiO2, reducing resistance and increasing electric current due to the zwitterions effect of the protein. This results in an increase in DSSC efficiency, with the highest efficiency value of 1.465% achieved with the addition of 75% brain protein concentration.
研究不足
The study focuses on the efficiency improvement of DSSC through the addition of clathrin protein from cow brain, but does not explore the scalability of this method for industrial applications or the long-term stability of the modified DSSC.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed an experimental method to test the effect of the addition of cow brain protein on increased efficiency in the DSSC. The research procedure involved preparing material and equipment, DSSC assembly, and testing of DSSC.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Clathrin protein was obtained from protein isolation of a cow brain. TiO2 paste was made using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and TiO2 powder. Electrolyte was prepared by dissolving a mixture of potassium iodide (KI) and iodine (I2) in PEG
3:The dye was prepared from papaya leaves with acetone. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
4 Equipment included Becker glass, measuring tubes, pipettes, magnetic stirrers, petri dishes, Whatman filter paper, furnaces, digital scales, mortars, scotch tapes, multimeters, solar simulators, solar power meters, electrophoresis apparatus, and centrifuges.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The assembly involved giving TiO2 paste to the electrode glass, heating glass/TiO2, soaking the dye, giving cow brain protein, giving electrolytes, giving carbon to the electrode counter, and then DSSC assembling.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Tests carried out on DSSC included XRD testing, FTIR testing, SEM testing, and efficiency testing in the solar simulator.
