Abstract

The invention of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has opened new prospects for photovoltaic applications due to their incredible power conversion efficiency (PCE), lower cost, and fabrication ease. Remarkable efforts have been endeavored to establish high-performance DSSCs. However, due to limited physicochemical properties, titanium dioxide and platinum, the leaders of DSSCs are discouraging efficiency improvement. In this stage, searching for a better alternative to facilitate their performance is highly demanding. This chapter will discuss the various alternative ways of designing and developing materials to achieve enhanced PCE for a regular DSSC framework. Usually, the three factors’ synergistic effects are electron transfer efficiency, light scattering, and dye adsorption leading to maximum PCE. This chapter’s novelty will lie in the structure-property-performance corelation establishment of different segments of their various production forms, different ways of device fabrication, and strategies to improve the functionality of the materials in a DSSC.
