SEM images show that the obtained morphologies are irregular agglomerates at low PGPH concentration and relatively regular granules at high PGPH concentration. FTIR and Raman spectra show that the synthesized PANI is in the form of Emeraldine salt (PANI ES) with electrical conductivity around 10−3 S cm−1. Photovoltaic current-voltage (J-V) measurements show the highest power conversion efficiency is achieved at 1.71% at 6% (v/v) of PGPH.[/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]Counter electrode materials,Electrical conductivity,Emeraldine salt,Nano-structured,Photovoltaic currents,polyglyceryl-2-dipolyhydroxystearate,Power conversion efficiencies,Reverse micelles[/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]Counter-electrode materials,dye-sensitized solar cell,emulsion polymerization,nanostructured polyaniline,polyglyceryl-2-dipolyhydroxystearate,reverse micelle[/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 financially supported by Penelitian Dasar Unggulan Perguruan Tinggi (PDUPT) Research Grant 2019, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia.
