Abstract

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer numerous benefits, including a low operating cost relative to performance, minimal processing expenses, the ability to operate at low incident light intensities and wide angles, mechanical resilience, portability, and a transparent design that is visually appealing. Their numerous noteworthy characteristics, such as light weight, transparency, and a wide wavelength range of operation, enable them to be used for a diverse range of functional applications. This study focuses on new developments in creating materials that may be used to fabricate high-performing photovoltaic devices. The power conversion efficiency of the DSSC depends on the optimization and compatibility of each component of solar cell (counter electrode, working electrode, electrolyte, photosensitizers). This paper also outlines developments in related materials and demonstrates how different materials and production techniques have enhanced each functional part of a DSSC.
