Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) exhibit significant advantages in industrial production due to their abundant raw materials, low preparation costs, and simple processes. The dyes utilized in DSSCs play a crucial role in absorbing light energy and converting it into electrical energy. Therefore, this paper aims to review the latest advancements in DSSC dyes over the past five years, with a specific focus on analyzing the impact of natural dyes, organic dyes, and metal complex dyes on DSSC performance. In comparison, natural dyes are cost-effective and non-toxic, albeit less efficient. On the other hand, metal complex dyes demonstrate excellent performance but are highly toxic and expensive, while organic dyes are affordable and exhibit greater potential for development. Recent research has revealed that co-sensitization of multiple dyes and the utilization of sensitizers are currently the primary methods for enhancing the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells.
期刊介绍：
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
