Abstract
The metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated as potential material for various types of solar cells, including dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The MOFs are excellent precursors for deriving metal oxides, carbides, sulfides and other composites. The MOFs have been implemented in DSSCs either as the working electrode, counter electrode, sensitizer or the electrolyte. The book chapter gives a brief overview of DSSCs and its working mechanism. It describes the synthesis process and properties of MOFs that make them a suitable choice for DSSCs. The latest development in this field will be presented with focus on the fundamentals of the technology, i.e., the optoelectronic properties of MOFs that are necessary to obtain high performance solar cells. The challenges highlighted in the end of the chapter provides a direction for carrying out future research in this field.
