“…In paper [62], the hydrothermal method generated a cell efficiency of 5.99% thanks to a 3D hierarchical structure of TNS (TiO 2 nanosheet spheres). This is applied as a light scattering layer for the photoanode; likewise, for the latter, a P25/TNR structure (TiO 2 nanorods) is applied as a bottom layer.…”

Human beings are attempting to take advantage of renewable natural resources by using solar cells. These devices take the sun’s radiation and convert it into electrical energy. The issue with traditional silicon-based solar cells is their manufacturing costs and environmental problems. For this reason, alternatives have been developed within the solar cell field. One of these alternatives is the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), also known as Grätzel solar cells. DSSCs are a type of solar cell that mimics photosynthesis. They have a photoanode, which is formed by a semiconductor film sensitized with a dye. Some of their advantages include low-cost manufacturing, eco-friendly materials use, and suitability for most environments. This review discusses four important aspects, with two related to the dye, which can be natural or synthetic. Herein, only natural dyes and their extraction methods were selected. On the other hand, this paper discusses the nanostructures used for DSSCs, the TiO2 nanostructure being the most reported; it recently reached an efficiency level of 10.3%. Finally, a review on the novelties in DSSCs technology is presented, where it is observed that the use of Catrin protein (cow brain) shows 1.45% of efficiency, which is significantly lower if compared to Ag nanoparticles doped with graphene that report 9.9% efficiency.

“…Because of their low specific weight, high flexibility, superior tunability, high absorption coefficient, lower cost and high transparency, organic material-based solar cells have remarkable performance. 71 Modifications of the TiO 2 -based photoelectrode used in DSSCs have also been carried out with aggregated microspheres, 72 nanosheet spheres, 73 reduced graphene oxide composites, 74 and quasi-cubic fluorine. 75 Quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) have also gained popularity in recent years.…”

Nano-biotechnology deals with the role of biological species in the field of nanotechnology and has gained significant attention in the last few decades. Nano-sized materials have superior physical, chemical, optical, electrical and mechanical properties in comparison with the bulk materials. A number of techniques have been employed so far to synthesize nano-structured materials, and among these, bio-inspired methods are found to be economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is one of the most abundant and nontoxic transition metal oxides with high thermal stability, good oxidation and corrosion resistance, good hydrophobicity and non-wettability. All these properties along with a wide band gap make TiO 2 an important material for various applications in the fields of solar cells, sensors, batteries, and supercapacitors. In this review work, a comprehensive study has been carried out on the synthesis of TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) using different biological extracts and applications of TiO 2 NPs in the design and development of various electronic devices.
