The energy demand for supporting the activity of human life is increasing where fossil fuels decreasing sharply every year and have an impact on increasing CO 2 emissions in the environment. An alternative solution for providing practical energy needs is using renewable energy such as solar cells. For environmentally friendly, economical, and efficient concepts, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a promising alternative for the photovoltaic field. The performance of a DSSC depends on many factors, such as electron collection at the photoanode, photoanode light-harvesting efficiency, and others. In this review article, we observe the influence of synthetic and natural dye materials on light-harvesting efficiency at photoanodes. The chemical structure of dyes plays an essential role in increasing photon absorption, thereby increasing electron injection and conversion efficiency. In addition to dyes, we also reviewed the influence of the shape of the DSSC structure, namely the sandwich, monolithic, and honeycomb structures, on the performance of DSSCs.This approach helps develop a narrative about the potential and relationship of dyes and structure in increasing efficiency as a guide for synthesizing new materials in the future.

In this review article, the synthesis, characterization and physico‐chemical properties of the organic donor‐acceptor complexes are highlighted and a special emphasis has been placed on developing them as semiconducting materials. The electron‐rich molecules, i.e., donors have been broadly grouped in three categories, namely polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen heterocycles and sulphur containing aromatic donors. The reactions of these classes of the donors with the acceptors, namely tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), tetracyanobenzene (TCNB), benzoquinone, pyromellitic dianhydride and pyromellitic diimides, fullerenes, phenazine, benzothiadiazole, naphthalimide, DMAD, maleic anhydride, viologens and naphthalene diimide are described. The potential applications of the resulting DA complexes for physico‐electronic purposes are also included. The theoretical investigation of many of these products with a view to rationalise their observed physico‐chemical properties is also discussed.

The efficacy of dipyridyl and diphenylamine sensitizers in dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is linked to trends in DFT-based charge transfer and non-linear optical (NLO) properties. We chose DFT and Time-dependent-DFT methods. The planarity is improved by replacing the phenyl ring at the donor site with a thiophene ring. Similarly, cyanoacetic acid acceptor improves planarity over rhodamine-3-acetic acid acceptor. In all cases in HOMO, the electron density is located at the donor and some part of the spacer, and in LUMO, it is shifted to the acceptor. Bond length alternation, bond order alternation, quinoid character, effective charge transferred distance, effective charge transferred, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, and electron correlation descriptors showed direct relation, while hardness and hyperhardness showed an inverse relation with NLO properties. We observed higher β 0 and γ for thiophenebased sensitizers ranging from 248.81 × 10 À 30 to 440.92 × 10 À 30 esu and 777.82 × 10 À 36 to 1442.69 × 10 À 36 esu, respectively. Likewise, more negative values of ΔGinject (À 0.630 to À 0.752 eV), a smaller value of ΔGreg (0.662 to 0.790 eV), and higher LHE (0.959 to 0.976) are observed for thiophene-based sensitizers. Also, thiophene-based sensitizers showed shorter TiÀ O bond lengths than their phenyl-based sensitizers. Photovoltaic parameters are directly related to DSSC efficiency and NLO properties.
