Sustainable and Advanced Approaches to Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

This deeply experimental and theoretical study aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on both the current development of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells and future technologies, as well as evaluate the importance of each parameter in relation to the overall power conversion efficiency. DSSCs, which are imitating photosynthesis, have been a promising alternative for thirty years and a possible component of green energy systems, yet they have never experienced broad success amongst the public. My goal is to allow easier and more sustainable integration of these cells into our everyday lives, starting this development from building and simulating traditional DSSCs with natural dyes, to exploring more complex tandem structures and possible flexible applications of those.
