Abstract:

Among all the solar cell system dye sensitized solar cell is the third-generation solar cell that contains working electrode coating with semiconducting material, dye sensitizer, counter electrode and the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cell is reliant on the material which is absorbing light and converting it as energy. In this respect, dye sensitizer is the most substantial component in dye sensitized solar cell. Though organic and natural dye has been used in solar cell but due to the deleterious effect of organic dye, its application has been suppressed by the natural dye which is environment friendly and accessible. Ample of natural dyes has been applied in solar cell as sensitizer, while their way of application is different especially in case of dye extraction process. In this theoretical analysis, various research work related to dye sensitized solar has been included and explained the working principle of dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC), also summarized the extraction process of natural dye from different along with their photovoltaic parameters of various natural dye sensitized solar cell. Moreover, this study also compares the performance of natural dye sensitized solar cell according to presence of chromophore group in natural pigment.
