Abstract

Fossil fuel shortages, increasing prices of crude oil, and the shunning of conventional energy sources (such as coal or nuclear power plants) are some of the factors that have made sustainable forms of traditional energy gain more attention. Some examples include hydropower, wind power, geothermal power, and biomass processing. Solar power is also a very important source of alternative energy. To comprehend such improving progress in achieving higher solar-to-electricity efficiency and improved long-term operating stability, the development process and basic principles for DSSCs should be understood. An FTO electrode with titanium dioxide (Tio2) is being used here, as part of which we grow dye tuned to give the required color and conductivity. It is called an anode. A pencil was used to graphite the other FTO glass, which would then serve as the cathode. We are presently working on using an iodide electrolyte. Also, current density and voltage were monitored by the ESP8266 kit. Key Words: Dye-sensitized solar cell; Carotenoid Extract; Electrolyte; ESP8266.
