Review on Implementation of Dye-sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC)

Abstract

Abstract: Solar cells give better power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to conventional solar cells made of Silicon in terms of low materials and manufacturing costs. Materials required for the manufacturing of DSSCs such as titanium oxide are inexpensive, abundant and environmentally friendly. DSSC materials are contamination resistant and processable at room temperature, a roll-to-roll process can be used to print DSSCs in a mass production facility. DSSCs have been found to perform better under low light conditions and so they are a great choice for indoor applications, especially in powering of low powered objects such as IoT devices. A lot of work has also been done to make coloured and semi-transparent thin film DSSCs to use indoors and in window modules and enhance their aesthetic values. This review is a report about some selected works done in manufacturing of DSSCs, especially the transparent cells and their integration in buildings, both outdoors and indoor [1].
