Performance of Natural Dye Extracted from Annatto, Black Plum, Turmeric, Red Spinach, and Cactus as Photosensitizers in TiO2NP/TiNT Composites for Solar Cell Applications

This paper is aimed at how to select, extract, and characterize natural dyes and to use them as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Dyes obtained from fresh sources of annatto fruits, black plums, cactus fruits, turmeric roots, and red spinach leaves were used as sensitizers. The dye...
