Using Natural Dyes to Prepare Nanoporous TiO₂ Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell

Abstract:

Dye-sensitized solar cell has been attracting considerable attention all over the world. In this article, natural dyes were used to prepare nanoporous Tio2 dye-sensitized solar cell. The nature dyes can be extracted easily and then employed in the solar cell to reduce material cost. At the same times, the dyes were non-toxic, environmentally friendly and fully biodegradable. Black rice, curcuma and red cabbage were used to prepare the organic natural dyes. The best dyes obtained from red cabbage as chlorophyll dyes that have the efficiency of energy conversion 0.05%.
