Abstract
- This paper reports the study of the effect of varying duty cycles on the synthesis of PANI by pulsed electropolymerization method to the performance of PANI as a counter electrode in DSSC. The deposited PANI is in emeraldine salt form, confirmed by FTIR-ATR and Raman spectroscopy. SEM analysis observed that all PANIs has nanofiber morphology. PANI with a 10% duty cycle provides the smallest average diameters X ˉ = 80 n m and lowest film thickness (11.56 μm), lowest R<subscript>CT</subscript> (59.00 Ω), lowest R<subscript>S</subscript> (40.06 Ω), highest V<subscript>OC</subscript> (0.688 V), and highest J<subscript>SC</subscript> (9.066 mA cm<superscript>−2</superscript>) that lead to the highest performance (η = 2.402%).
