Cost effective natural photo-sensitizer from upcycled jackfruit rags for dye sensitized solar cells

Photo-sensitizers, usually organic dye molecules, are considered to be one of the most expensive components in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The present work demonstrates a cost effective and high throughput upcycling process on jackfruit rags to extract a natural photo-active dye and its appl...
