Coal fly ash is recognized for its substantial silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) content and other minerals and metals. This paper provides a detailed analysis and description of extracting and characterizing SiO 2 from coal fly ash. This extraction aims to utilize SiO 2 as a material for the counter electrode in DSSCs. The extraction procedure of SiO 2 from coal fly ash involves a multi-step process that entailed the utilization of acid leaching using hydrochloric acid 1 M at 90°C for 4 h, which was subsequently followed by precipitation using NaOH 3 M at 90°C for 4 h to separate SiO 2 . The SiO 2 gel was cleaned of contaminants with hot distilled water and dried at 110°C for 12 h. The SiO 2 that was obtained was analyzed utilizing a range of analytical techniques to evaluate its structural, morphological, chemical, and optical properties. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) examination revealed that the crystal structure of coal fly ash consisted of quartz, corundum, hematite, lime, and periclase. The SiO 2 that was obtained exhibited a crystal structure that was both cubic and triclinic. The morphology is visualized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The study using atomic absorption spectroscopy revealed that the coal fly ash contained 52.91% SiO 2 , whereas the extracted SiO 2 had a purity of 91.20%. The UV-Vis spectrophotometry investigation revealed that the SiO 2 exhibited absorbance spectra with a wide band gap of 4.17 eV, whereas the coal fly ash had absorbance spectra of 3.37 eV. }, issn = {2597-9914}, pages = {419--425} doi = {10.14710/jksa.27.9.419-425}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/ksa/article/view/63890} }
