Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC_s) provide a promising alternative to traditional solar technologies, as they offer a unique mix of cost-effectiveness, adaptability, and the possibility of achieving high efficiency. This study aims to investigate the effect of SiO₂ purity obtained from coal fly ash on the photoelectric performance of DSSC_s. The study focuses on varying the purity of extracted SiO₂ from coal fly ash as a counter-electrode material and examining its impact on the efficiency of DSSC_s. The efficiency of DSSC_s was assessed by evaluating the performance of several various SiO₂ purity materials for counter-electrode materials. The performance testing of DSSC_s revealed that the counter electrode material, consisting of artificial SiO₂ with a purity of 99.9%, achieved the highest efficiency of 0.0113%. Subsequently, DSSC_s were fabricated using counter-electrode materials derived from coal fly ash with a purity of 52.91%. These DSSC_s demonstrated an efficiency of 0.0076%. DSSC_s utilizing SiO₂ with a purity of 91.20% exhibited an efficiency of 0.0062%. Dye-sensitized solar cells utilizing a counter electrode material composed of SiO₂ with a purity level of 72.54% demonstrated an efficiency of 0.0061%. The results showed that the level of SiO₂ purity obtained from coal fly ash has a substantial impact on the photoelectric performance of DSSC_s, since higher purity of SiO₂ is associated with improved efficiency.
