The conversion of sunlight into electricity using solar cells has attracted very much attention during the last decades. Solar energy is clean, abundant and renewable. Solar cells found applications in many different fields such as in calculators, solar lamps and even on spacecraft and satellites. Historically, conventional solar cells were built from inorganic materials. The efficiency of such...

We have investigated the insights of photo-physical surface characteristics for Ru (II) polypyridyl dye (N719) sensitization and its performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) at different temperatures ZnO-based photoanodes. The maximum power conversion efficiency 2.25% with a high open-circuit voltage 0.87 V was recorded 40 °C sensitized device under 1SUN 1.5 AM. 60 shows current densit...
