Abstract

Secang (Caesalpinia sappan Linn) merupakan tanaman endemik Kalimantan Barat yang mengandung pigmen berwarna merah brazilin. Dalam penelitian ini, brazilin diperoleh melalui proses maserasi dilanjutkan dengan partisi cair-cair, selanjutnya dikomplekskan dengan ion logam Cu, Mg, dan Zn untuk meningkatkan kinerjanya ketika digunakan sebagai sensitizer pada dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Pengompleksan dilakukan menggunakan media gliserol-air, sedangkan fabrikasi DSSC dilakukan menggunakan metode doctor blading. Hasil analisis FTIR terhadap ekstrak kayu secang menunjukkan adanya gugus fungsi O-H, C=O, C=C, dan C-H, yang merupakan gugus fungsional khas dari brazilin. Terbentuknya kompleks brazilin-Cu, brazilin-Mg, dan brazilin-Zn ditandai dengan menurunnya intensitas puncak dari C=O pada 1606 cm-1 dan –OH pada 3263 cm-1. Hasil analisis UV-Vis menunjukkan bahwa kompleks memiliki rentang panjang gelombang lebih lebar dan cenderung batokromik. DSSC yang menggunakan kompleks brazilin-Cu, brazilin-Mg, dan brazilin-Zn menghasilkan rendemen konversi energi maksimum pada 200 W/m2, berturut-turut sebesar 0.034 %, 0.030 %, dan 0.013 %, serta DSSC ekstrak kayu secang murni sebesar 0.029 %. Dengan demikian, penggunaan sensitizer berbasis kompleks logam-brazilin dapat meningkatkan efisiensi DSSC. Kata kunci: Brazilin, DSSC, fotosensitizer, kayu secang, kompleks. Secang (Caesalpinia sappan Linn) is an endemic plant in West Kalimantan that contains Brazilin red pigments. In this study, brazilin was obtained through a maceration process carried out by a liquid-liquid partition, then complexed with metal ions to improve the performance of compilation used as a sensitizer on dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Complexation is carried out using glycerol-water media, while DSSC fabrication is carried out using the doctor blading method. The results of FTIR analysis of secang wood extract showed the presence of a functional group O-H,  C=O, C=C, and C-H, which are typical functional groups of brazilin. The formation of the brazilin-Cu, brazilin-Mg, and brazilin-Zn complexes is characterized by an increase in peak intensity of  C=O at 1606 cm-1 and O-H at 3263 cm-1. The results of the UV-Vis analysis show that the complex has a wider wavelength and uses batochromic. DSSCs that use the brazilin-Cu, brazilin-Mg, and brazilin-Zn complexes that complement each other produce efficiencies of  0.034%, 0.030%, and 0.013%, and DSSC pure secang wood extract of  0.029%. The efficiency of the brazilian metal-complex when compared with brazilin, the efficiency increases, so that the maximum efficiency obtained by the Cu-brazilin sensitizer is equal to 0.034%. Keywords: Brazilin, DSSC, photosensitizer, secang wood, complex.

Abstract

Ceramic membrane based on acid- and alkali-activated metakaolinite has been produced. It was tested as a cooling material for monocrystalline silicon solar cells. Membrane was made by several stages, such as calcination of natural kaolinite at 600 oC for 6 hours to obtain metakaolinite, activation of metakaolinite by concentrated HCl and KOH, and preparation of ceramic membrane. Kaolinite, metakaolinite, and activated metakaolinite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR), and gas sorption analyzer (GSA). Diffractogram of XRD showed that there was a structural change between activated metakaolinite and natural kaolinite. XRF analysis indicated that the Si/Al of HCl activated metakaolinite was three times higher than natural kaolinite. Activated metakaolinite was made into membrane by adding a binder, then heated at 800 °C for 6 hours. PV cells with and without cooling material were then analyzed their electrical performances. It was found that the maximum energy conversion yield of PV cells without using cooling material was 2.30%, while the maximum energy conversion yield of PV cells with cooling material of meta-kaolinite activated by HCl and KOH were respectively 2.72% and 2.94%.
