Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have become the subject matter of significant interest for the research and due to their urge in the field of energy conservation. The safe supply of energy is welfare of human life. However, as an unattainable power-energy conservation source, also
depletion of fossil fuels is an unfortunate mandate and, definitely it is imminent. To encounter this critical issue of energy, non-conventional sources of energy have gained lots of attention, especially solar energy because it’s a device that converts light-energy directly to electrical-energy
without harming the environment. DSSCs provides a reliable and a cheap alternative for different kinds of Photovoltaics. The spectacle realization of Dye-sensitized-solar-cell is typically relying on photosensitizer (Dye), electrolyte and metal oxide semiconductor. A natural dye has become
most credible alternative for such expensive and rare inorganic/chemical sensitizers, due to its lower cost, easy fabrication, eco-friendly and abundance of raw material. Also, DSSC has easily implemented technology with significant efficiency. This review paper enlightens the emergence, operation/fabrication,
components and development of DSSCs using natural photo-sensitizers and factors that affect the stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
