Role of Clathrin Protein to Increase Electric Current on Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) Based Natural Dyes

This paper provides a survey of the advance in the literature of nanomaterials for dye sensitized solar cell. The survey highlights that most exploratory studies focus on variable nanomaterials the role of dye sensitized solar cell. The positive role of photoelectrochemical system fact, there are some methodological reservations about the outputs from these exploratory studies. A general observation from these studies is that the literature produced the antithetically results and there is no consensus neither on the existence.

Dye Sensitized

The molecular dye is an essential component of the Dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC), and improvements in efficiency over the last 15 years have been achieved by tailoring the optoelectronic properties of the dye. The most successful dyes are based on ruthenium bipyridyl compounds, which are characterized by a large absorption coefficient in the visible part of the solar spectrum, good adsorption properties, excellent stability, and efficient electron injection. However, ruthenium-based compounds are relatively expensive, and organic dyes with similar characteristics and even higher absorption coefficients have recently been reported; solar cells with efficiencies of up to 9% have been reported. Organic dyes with a higher absorption coefficient could translate into thinner nanostructured metal oxide films, which would be advantageous for charge transport both in the metal oxide and in the permeating phase, allowing for the use of higher viscosity materials such as ionic liquids, solid electrolytes or hole conductors. Organic dyes used in the DSSC often bear a resemblance to dyes found in plants, fruits, and other natural products, and several dye-sensitized solar cells with natural dyes have been reported. This paper gives an over-view of the recent works in DSSC using the natural dyes as chromophores.
