Review on natural dye sensitized solar cells: Operation, materials and methods
Open accessAbstract
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have become a topic of significant research in the last two decades because of their fundamental and scientific importance in the area of energy conversion. Ease of fabrication with widely available materials coupled with reasonable efficiency has made DSSC a promising candidate in low cost solar cells and its research. The use of synthetic dyes as sensitizer in DSSC provide better efficiency and high durability, but they suffer from several limitations such as higher cost, tendency to undergo degradation, and usage of toxic materials. These limitations have opened up for alternate sensitizers that are bio compatible natural sensitizers. Natural sensitizers contain plant pigments such as anthocyanin, carotenoid, flavonoid, and chlorophyll that are responsible for chemical reactions such as absorption of light as well as injection of charges to the conduction band of TiO2 by the sensitizer. Therefore, dyes containing these pigments can easily be extracted from natural products like fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, barks etc and can be employed as sensitizer for DSSC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
