The purification process used for separation pigment photosynthesis of syngonium leafs was called fractionation. The first fractionation of the dye contains pigment of β-carotene. The absorpton spectrum of β-carotene has been investigated by using Uv-Vis spectroscopy. The Fourier Transform Infrared revealed that the binding of the dye was on the surface of TiO2. Analysis absorbance and energy gap of the dye has been investigated by using Uv-Vis spectroscopy and Tauc relation. The cells were illuminated under 100 mW/cm2 AM 1.5 condition. The performance of the cells with sensitized the fractionation dye has a short circut current density (Jsc) of 0.27 mA/cm2, an open circuit photovoltage (Voc) of 0.4V, and Fill Factor (FF) of 68.89%. Furthermore, the overall efficiency of DSSC is 0.074%. The low efficiency for the fractionation cell based dye sensitized solar cells due to the weakness of interaction between dye molecule and the surface of TiO2.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Adsorption characteristic,Beta carotene,Dye molecule,Fourier transform infra reds,Open-circuit photovoltage,Overall efficiency,Purification process,UV-vis spectroscopy[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was supported by Advance Functional Material Laboratory (AFM), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and funded by Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan (LPDP), Indonesia).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201815902052[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
