Özet

CuO nanoparticles were prepared with the extract of Anchusa azurea flowers and characterized by TEM, XRD, FT-IR, and UV-Vis. Dye-sensitized solar cell properties of phthalocyanines can be improved by doping with nanoparticles. In this context, the effects of prepared CuO nanoparticles phthalocyanines at different ratios were investigated. On the other hand, a zinc phthalocyanine compound from the phthalocyanine group with dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) properties was prepared. The capacity of the phthalocyanine compound for DSSC was investigated. In the first stage, phthalocyanine was investigated without additives. In the second stage, the phthalocyanine compound was investigated after doping with CuO nanoparticles at 1:1 and 1:2 ratios. Thus, the effect of power conversion power created by CuO nanoparticles on phthalocyanine was revealed. The results demonstrate that the power conversion efficiency increased notably from 1.56% to 2.83% and 3.41% with 1:1 and 1:2 doping ratios, respectively.
