Abstract
Here, we intend to review those patents related with the technology of dye sensitized solar cells. In particular we discuss patents and papers that enable metal oxide layer to be more controllable and feasible for applications, and new and innovative dyes, sensitizers and electrolytes with promising features. Finally various methods were reviewed for fabricating semiconductor layers and complete DSSC devices focusing on the mass production of photovoltaic cells.
Keywords: DSSC, Gratzel, Nanotechnology, Dye Sensitized Solar Cells, fabricating semiconductor layers, photovoltaic cells, injection solar cells, anatase-TiO2, nano-crystalline, photons, polypyridyl complexes, ruthenium, photo-excitation process, mesoporous film, LUMO level, Inorganic Dyes, Organic Dyes, bis-dimethylfluoreneaniline moiety, Quantum Dots (QDs), aluminum doped zinc oxide, atomic layer deposition, Semiconductor Nanocrystalline Electrodes, anodization, Illumination Geometry

Advances in Vanadium and Titanium Resources for High-performance Materials via Nanostructuring and Nanoengineering (updated BMS-NANOTEC-2023-HT-31)
Vanadium and titanium-based materials are ideal candidates for structural and functional materials in aerospace, biomedical engineering, optics, catalysis, energy storage and conversion etc. Vanadium/titanium-based alloys, compounds and materials have a large family with different chemical compositions, dimensions, structures/morphologies, and chemical/physical/mechanical properties, which provides huge opportunities for the development of emerging ...read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
