Description
Summary:The operation of DSSC is similar to that of photosynthesis. This technology evolves from the concept of “artificial photosynthesis”. Instead of chlorophyll, a light-absorbing dye is used in DSSCs. Generally, four categories of dyes include inorganic, organic, natural, and perovskite-based dyes. are used in DSSC. Replacing organic dyes in DSSCs with nature-friendly, biodegradable, and low-cost natural dyes paves the way for new opportunities in the commercialization of this technology. In this paper, we have investigated the use of various natural dyes as photosensitizers and the different parameters that improve cell efficiency.
