The counter electrode plays major role in achieving of maximum performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A mixture of jack-fruit latex and activated charcoal is used for the first time in DSSCs as counter electrode material. Maximum short-circuit photo-performances of 3.2 mAcm-2was achieved for the TiO2|mercurochrome|(I-/I3-) solar cells at optimal amount of binder percentage of 15% of jackfruit latex, under AM 1.5 conditions.
