Abstract

The demand for sustainable energy drives innovation in solar technology, with semi-transparent dye-sensitized solar cells (ST-DSSCs) combining power generation and light transmission. This review investigates the potential of ST-DSSCs in applications like smart farming, interior energy harvesting, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The device architecture, cutting-edge materials, manufacturing techniques, and the new idea of bi-facial DSSCs are explored in detail. The review also examines the limitations encountered by ST-DSSCs, including technological challenges, safety concerns, economic barriers, and environmental impacts, while proposing practical solutions to address these issues. Furthermore, it explores the current regulations and standards regarding ST-DSSCs and provides suggestions for their implementation and progress in the future. This study intends to offer significant insights for academics, policymakers, and industry stakeholders by emphasizing the development of sustainable and efficient solar energy solutions.

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments. Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
