Abstract

Currently, different types of materials are being used for solar cell applications, these vary according to the device’s requirements. In recent years, the main purposes in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) study are, to obtain a longer useful lifetime and high conversion efficiencies, compared to existing devices in solar cell market. Consequently, this paper provides a status review on DSSCs general information, such as physic-chemical characteristics, modeling, simulation studies, text mining and applications. At the same time, this review deals with operation principles and manufacturing issues, because these are aspects affecting both the performance and device stability. In addition, the last challenges developed in each layer of DSSCs are shown, which have been presented to try covering the necessary requirements that will allow the competitiveness and commercialization of these types of devices. Finally, some industrial applications achieved in obtaining energy through DSSCs are described, as well as the types of companies today have used and improved them.
