Abstract:
The solar energy is an abundant, continuous and clean source of energy that can be used to produce electricity using many different photovoltaic designs. Dye sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 have drawn attention worldwide due to their low cost and easy preparation techniques compared to conventional silicon based photovoltaic devices. The objective of this work was to develop dye-sensitized solid-state solar cell (DSSC), in which the liquid electrolyte, commonly applied in photoelectrochemical cells, is replaced by CuSCN and compared the performance of the solar cells with anthocyanin extracted from grapes.
