Utilization of Metal Based Nanomaterials in DSSC: A Review

Abstract

Renewable energy are now one of the most concerned topics in the world now. Photovoltaic cells are a crucial technology for harnessing this abundant resource and are poised to play a pivotal role in future sustainable energy system. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have gained recognition and credibility as a viable alternative to solid-state junction devices for the purpose of converting solar energy into electrical power. DSSCs operate by employing regenerating dyes to adsorb visible light and sensitize nanocrystalline metal oxide layers. The electrodes of DSSCs can be modified by various nanoparticles. This modification has shown increased efficiency. Adding several nanoparticles has shown higher power conversion efficiency (PCE). Many other nanoparticles can be used to modify DSSCs for increased efficiency and enhanced light harvesting capabilities. In this review article we will discuss about the Utilization of metal-based nanomaterials in DSSC.
