Dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a device which absorbs light from the sun with a layer of dye molecules and directly converts into electric energy. DSSCs based on ZnO have drawn attention worldwide due to their low cost and easy preparation techniques compared to conventional silicon based photovoltaic devices. Silicon based solar cells were the most popular before the emerging of dye-sensitized solar cells. These silicon based solar cells devices have dominated photovoltaic industry until now. The objectives of this study is to make DSSC using ZnO on ITO coated glass substrate as anode and characterize the DSSC properties such as conversion efficiency, short current density, open circuit voltage, and fill factor. ZnO thin films have been prepared on Indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate. These films were used to construct ITO/ZnO/Natural Dye/C/ITO, DSSCs with natural anthocyanin sensitizer extracted from wild Jamun fruits. The cells show open circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.58V, short-circuit current (I sc) of 1.66 mA and 0.58 fill factor (FF) with an conversion efficiency (η) of 1.23%.

We have developed dye-sensitized solar cells using novel sensitizers with enhanced transmittance of red (625–675 nm) and blue (425–475 nm) wavebands to control the illumination condition in the greenhouse. Novel ruthenium bipyridyl sensitizers with general formulas (Me3PhN)4[Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2] (JJ-7) and (Me3BnN)4[Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2] (JJ-9) have been synthesized and demonstrated as efficient sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells for greenhouse application. Under standard AM 1.5 sunlight, the solar cell ofJJ-7using a liquid-based electrolyte exhibits a short-circuit photocurrent density of 8.49 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage of 0.83 V, and a fill factor of 0.71, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency of 4.96% on 5 μm TiO2film. The transmittance ofJJ-7andJJ-9shows 62.0% and 61.0% at 660 nm and 18.0% and 15.0% at 440 nm for cultivation on 5 μm TiO2film, respectively.
