Dye Combination, DSSC, PhotosensitizerAbstract
The growing energy demand has driven extensive research into developing renewable technologies. Among these innovations is the production of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) utilizing photosensitizers derived from natural materials that are readily available, easy to extract, and environmentally sustainable. Although their efficiency is lower than that of synthetic alternatives, blending natural pigments enhances the absorption spectrum. The combined pigments yield higher efficiency than individual dyes. This review examines the synthesis and characterization processes for using combined dyes as photosensitizers in DSSCs, covering stages such as dye extraction, TiO2 deposition, and various analytical tools. Additionally, it highlights research findings that suggest promising avenues for future exploration in dye combinations.
