| Abstract: | Zinc-Carbon dry cell primary batteries are frequently used batteries and such spent batteries are one of the potential secondary resources for producing Zn metal and its oxides, zinc Oxide (ZnO) having unique physical, chemical, optical and antimicrobial properties. In the present work, ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized from spent zinc-carbon batteries followed by its application in fabricating dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The ZnO nanoparticles was prepared by dissolving the zinc part of the dismantled spent batteries HCl to produce zinc chloride (ZnCl2) followed by precipitation of Zn(OH)2 by adding NaOH solution to the produced ZnCl2 solution and heat treatment of Zn(OH)2 to produce ZnO. The phase analysis of the produced ZnO was carried out by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and the optical property study was carried out by UV-VIS spectrophotometry, which shows a band gap energy of 3.497 eV. The resulting ZnO was used for fabricating dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and the J-V plot was plotted. From the study the various parameters of DSSC were calculated such as open circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (ή%) were calculated. |
