Abstract
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have motivated many researchers to develop various photosensitizers with tailored properties involving anchoring and ancillary ligands. Ancillary ligands carry favorable light-harvesting abilities and are therefore crucial in determining the overall power conversion efficiencies.This review aims to provide insight into the relationship between amphiphilic photosensitizer structure and DSSC properties, which can further guide the function-oriented design and synthesis of different photosensitizers for DSSCs. This review outlines how the new and rapidly expanding class of amphiphilic photosensitizers metal free as well as ruthenium complexes. Introduction of amphiphilicity in photosensitizers provides an enhancing in the performance and stability of DSSCs. These classes of photosensitizer gained interest for feasible large-scale commercialization of DSSCs due to their more favorable light-harvesting abilities and long-term thermal and chemical stabilities compared with other conventional sensitizers. Therefore, the main idea is to collect data of researchers to explore advancement in the design of new amphiphilic photosensitizer for DSSCs.
