Dye sensitised solar cells use dyes or 'sensitisers' to convert sunlight into electricity. The costs of solar power have been declining steadily and eventually will be competitive with traditional dirty sources of power which are currently contributing to climate change. As a disruptive technology. . The champion state-of-the-art DSSC device today consists of a mesoporous n-TiO2 nanoparticle electrode deposited on conducting fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass and sensitized by the YD2-o-C8 triarylaminoetyhynyl porphyrin dye (Fig. In times of fossil fuel shortage, increasing crude oil prices. . A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC, DSC, DYSC[1] or Grätzel cell) is a low-cost solar cell belonging to the group of thin film solar cells. [2] It is based on a semiconductor formed between a photo-sensitized anode and an electrolyte, a photoelectrochemical system. The modern version of a dye solar. .
