dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSC) have attracted significant attention due to its advantages of low cost
ease of fabrication to large area and potential of acceptable conversion efficiency.This paper introduces mechanism of DSSC that is similar to natural photosynthesis and describes structure of DSSC that mainly consists of conductive glass
nano-semiconductor oxide film
sensitizer of dye
electrolyte
and counter electrode.The new development in modification technology for anode material
effect on performance of DSSC by dyes and research of electrolyte is reviewed.Finally
the application prospect of DSSC and its future research emphasis are predicted.
