Abstract

Today every nation faces vitality emergencies; so, to conquer it, various arrangements are given to advance towards sun-based energy harvesting which is rich and allowed to utilize. The presented study aims to give a simple synthesis technique for mass production of DSSC from working principles to the first commercial use. DSSC converts solar energy into electricity with help of energy harvesting materials like natural dye which makes it more sustainable with low production cost. In present study, the DSSCs utilizing characteristic color separated from the Aloe vera and organic carbon dots as a sensitizer of the photo-anode titanium dioxide and achieved an efficiency of approximately 10% in sunlight. Surface structure morphology is investigated by Scanning microscopy (SEM), and crystallography was characterized by X-ray diffraction.
