Abstract: An M.pudica-based organic solar cell model is developed for experimental investigation of UV light absorptivity within ethyl acetate and ethanol mixtures in order to predict charged ion mobility within a network of microchannels. A two-dimensional simulation of energy transport with a finite volume formulation is adopted, where the back field effect on the wafering technology and the optimisation of the energy conversion within the M.pudica-based organic solar cell can be investigated. A significant contribution of this study is the inclusion of the material characterisation of M.pudica as a potential source of energy supply. The developed model is proposed for performance improvement in the design of the organic solar cell. With a variety of imposed boundary conditions, the scalar transport variables and their responses to the environment are studied. The temperature specified on the faces with Dirichlet boundary condition is 100°C. The result of the surface temperature diffusion is presented. The temperature that diffuses into the cell layer ranges from 30°C to 77°C, suggesting a temperature range for manufacturing of the organic solar cell.
