Abstract

This technical paper contains the information of the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) working principal where diffusion mechanism acts as electron transport to absorb the sunlight energy to generate the electrical energy. DSSC is photo electrochemical cell that implements the application of photosynthesis process. The performance of electron transport in DSSC has been reviewed in order to enhance the performance and efficiency of electron transport. The improvement of the electron transport also discussed in this paper.
