摘要：Due to the availability, non-toxicity and cost-effectivity, natural dyes are becoming popular day by day. This study explains the fabrication method of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using natural dyes containing anthocyanins extracted from pomegranate, blackberry and beetroot. Doctor blade method was employed to prepare TiO2 film as photoanode on FTO glass. The structural and morphological properties of photoanode was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The extracted dye absorption was evaluated by UVVis- NIR spectroscopy. The fabricated cells have efficiency in the range of 0.015-0.042% which has been measured by sun simulator.
