“…Based on Table 3, as the CMC mass increases, the DSSC efficiency decreases as well. 47 The efficiency of a sample without microwave irradiation is found the smallest one (3.69×10 −6 ) and the highest efficiency is equal to 0.57% for DSSC by irradiation treatment. This value is higher compared to the efficiency of DSSC from Reseda luteola, 0.22%, 48 and still lower than DSSC efficiency that of the reference commercial dye (N719), 6.52%.…”

“…On the other hand, in dark conditions, no current is generated, so that almost all publications reporting DSSC performance do not report the current generated in the dark condition. It is also emphasized that in dark conditions, cells behave like diodes 46,47 . Under the illuminated condition, the electrical current generated by DSSC and its performance characteristics are presented in Figure 8.…”

Summary The purpose of this study is to fabricate DSSC which performs well from natural pigments by giving exposure to microwave irradiation in materials to increase pigment uptake. In this research, the microwave irradiation was applied in coating banana flower extract (Musa acuminata bract) on the electrode, to increase light absorption of anthocyanin pigment. It is expected that the device can absorb more solar energy. The banana flower extract was characterized using Ocean Optic Vis‐Nir USB 4000 to observe the optical properties. The irradiation treatment was carried out using Electrolux Microwave (EMM 2308X) at power 150 W. The DSSC samples were characterized using I‐V meter Nacrieble 101. The maximum absorbance of 1.55 a.u. is found for the mass fraction of 0.45. The microwave irradiated device has an efficiency of about 3.69×10−6%, whereas which is no microwave irradiation has a maximum efficiency of about 0.57%. It shows that microwave irradiation can improve DSSC performance. The banana flower extract is available as an alternative organic photosensitizer in the fabrication of DSSC.

Since early 1990s dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been developed by many research groups all over the World. This paper presents a review of researches focusing on photosensitizer influence on DSSC efficiency. Variety of dye substance has been analyzed. The highest efficiency around 11.2% has been noted for ruthenium-based DSSC devices. Natural dyes allowed to reach 4.6%. The most metal-free organic dyes resulted in efficiency ranged from 5% to 9%, however, some of them (e.g. Y123) allowed to obtain devices with efficiencies equal to 10.3%. Co-sensitization is the new approach which results in efficiencies up to 14.3%.

The rapid growth of the population severely influences the supply of energy, accordingly ensuring clean energy has become a big challenge now and will be in the future. Fossil fuels have been satisfying the energy demand until now, but fossil fuels, being non‐renewable sources, will not be able to satisfy the energy demand in the future and will have a negative impact on the environment. Renewable energy sources have become the most demanding topic for researchers in this crisis. The solar cell, which is an abundant renewable energy resource, converts solar power into electrical energy without any environmental damage. Silicon solar cells have higher efficiency, but their high manufacturing cost, complicated procedures and environmental issues restrict their usage. Then dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been introduced as an alternative to silicon solar cells. In DSSC, both natural and synthetic dyes are used. Though synthetic dyes provide higher efficiency, they are environmentally harmful. Afterward, the concept of natural dye‐sensitized solar cells (NDSSC) have been materialized where only natural dyes are used. Researchers and environmentalists are looking for natural dyes as a replacement for synthetic dyes in recent times, as natural dyes are plentiful, can be collected naturally and have no environmental effects. Natural dyes in the form of anthocyanins, carotenoids, flavonoids, chlorophylls, tannins and betalains are extracted from various portions of plants that include leaves, roots, flowers, fruits, seeds, barks, etc. In this review, we investigate natural sources of dyes, natural sensitizers (dyes), shortcomings and remedies, improvements in efficiency and stability, developments, and commercialization. In addition, recent advances and the comparison of natural and synthetic dyes have been discussed in this review.
