“…Pressed berries and distillation residues, [76] pomace, [77] mangosteen peels, [78,79] shell, [80,81] olive mill wastewater (OMW) [82] are food and beverage waste that can be used in the production of natural dyes after a thorough investigation. Natural dyes can also be extracted from various other plants and crops, including wormwood and purple cabbage, [83] rosella and blue pea flowers, [84] lawsonia inermis seed, [12,85] dragon fruit, [86] pomegranate leaves and mulberry fruit, [87] raspberry fruit, [88] saffron petal, [89] basil or ocimum leaves, [90] black rice, erythrina variegate, rosa xanthina flower, capsicum and kelp, [91] spinach, [92,93] Hibiscus sabdariffa, [94][95][96] C. fruticosa, P. amaryllifolius and H. polyrhizus, [97] raspberries, Shami berries, grapes, hibiscus, [98] flower of acanthus sennii chiovenda and leaf of euphorbia cotinifolia, [99] red cabbage, [100,101] Mangifera indica, [102] red-cabbage, curcumin, and red-perilla, [101] spinach and ipomoea, [93] Delonix regia and Eugenia jambolana, [103] red Siahkooti fruit, [104] Ixora flower and Kembayau fruit, [37] Calafate and Jaboticaba, [105] red cabbage and blue pea. [106] Natural dye production from direct sources is more costly than harvesting by-products.…”

The rapid growth of the population severely influences the supply of energy, accordingly ensuring clean energy has become a big challenge now and will be in the future. Fossil fuels have been satisfying the energy demand until now, but fossil fuels, being non‐renewable sources, will not be able to satisfy the energy demand in the future and will have a negative impact on the environment. Renewable energy sources have become the most demanding topic for researchers in this crisis. The solar cell, which is an abundant renewable energy resource, converts solar power into electrical energy without any environmental damage. Silicon solar cells have higher efficiency, but their high manufacturing cost, complicated procedures and environmental issues restrict their usage. Then dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been introduced as an alternative to silicon solar cells. In DSSC, both natural and synthetic dyes are used. Though synthetic dyes provide higher efficiency, they are environmentally harmful. Afterward, the concept of natural dye‐sensitized solar cells (NDSSC) have been materialized where only natural dyes are used. Researchers and environmentalists are looking for natural dyes as a replacement for synthetic dyes in recent times, as natural dyes are plentiful, can be collected naturally and have no environmental effects. Natural dyes in the form of anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavonoids, chlorophylls, tannins and betalains are extracted from various portions of plants that include leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, seeds, barks, etc. In this review, we investigate natural sources of dyes, natural sensitizers (dyes), shortcomings and remedies, improvements in efficiency and stability, developments, and commercialization. In addition, recent advances and the comparison of natural and synthetic dyes have been discussed in this review.

“…Mangifera Indica has been used for DSSCs because; it has optical absorption and charge separation processes, and had shown three salient sensitizers i.e. tanin, anthocynanins, and carotenoids [46][47][48]. Mangifera indica has been repeatedly used as sensitizer for DSSCs from previous research.…”

“…Uno et. al., (2016) used dye extracted from Mango fruit peel, and reported 1.22x10 -2 as circuit current (Isc), Jsc of 4.07x10 -2 , Voc of 0.53V, FF of 0.16 with 0.345 % as total conversion efficiency (Eff) [46]. In another study, Abodunrin et al, (2015), preparated DSSCs using anthraquinone and flavonoid extracts from Mangifera indica mixed with four different electrolytes and iodine as NDs sensitizers.…”

The long-term viability of human civilization is heavily reliant on a sustainable energy supply, and fossil fuels have long been the most sustainable source of energy. However, since fossil fuels are a non - renewable energy source, their depletion is unavoidable and inevitable in this century. Renewable energy, notably solar energy (SE), has gotten a lot of attention as a solution to this problem because it transforms SE through technology into electrical power (EP) with no environmental impact. For its inherent low unit cost and simplicity of production, organic-solar cells (OSCs) have recently been the topic of investigation for both home and commercial uses. OSCs also have a weight and flexibility benefit over standard silicon-based crystalline solar cells (CSCs). Research has suggested that dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are the most effective and simple to implement of all the OSCs. In this mini review, we survey the existing DSSCs literature and attempts made to improve its performance based on mangifera indica natural dye, an eco-friendly, cost-effective, easy to extract, source of natural dye with high conversion efficiency.
