“…These natural pigments, abundant in fruits and plant tissues, are recognized for exceptional light-absorbing properties. Seminal previous works in 2023 highlight the efficacy of anthocyanins from diverse sources (Aziza et al, 2023;Montagni et al, 2023;Rajoriya et al, 2023;Shukor et al, 2023;Soosairaj et al, 2023;Yadav et al, 2023). The chemical structure of anthocyanins, with conjugated double bonds and hydroxyl groups, facilitates efficient light absorption and charge transfer in solar cells.…”

This study investigates the feasibility and potential of anthocyanins as natural dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The focus is on the efficiency, stability, and economic viability of using anthocyanins as green alternatives in renewable energy technology. While anthocyanins offer controlled modification of optical properties at a low cost, there are challenges to overcome in achieving high efficiency, long-term stability, and commercial affordability. The study analyzes recent research developments and proposes strategies to enhance efficiency, stability, and economic viability. Optimization techniques, such as dye mixing and co-pigmentation, as well as modifications to dye structure and protective coatings, are explored. Economic considerations, availability, scalability, and innovative approaches like dye engineering and novel device architectures are discussed. The findings highlight the potential of anthocyanin-based DSSCs as a sustainable and economically viable solar energy technology. The study concludes with recommendations for future research to overcome challenges and advance the field of anthocyanin-based DSSCs.
