Abstract:

The advent of nanotechnology brought forth potential applications. Carbon-based materials have outstanding electric and optical properties. Numerous recent research have concentrated on incorporating of nanomaterials into various materials in order to take advantage of their multifunctional properties in solar cells, biomedical, drug delivery etc. Application of nanomaterials allowed the beginnings of the technological revolution, enabling development of high performance electronics and photovoltaics with large fields of applications. These days, as different parts of the world have different potentials, there comes a need for different kinds of renewable energy sources. Recently, the researcher to be focused their goals on solar energy to reduce the cost while increasing the efficiency, efficiently store more energy and locate newer roads to convert solar energy into useful. Other than this, different renewable energy sources make a great contribution to make the world transition from fossil fuel (such as natural gas, oil and coal) to possible renewable energy. Therefore, the construction of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) made possible to capture this free energy from the sun directly from any types of environmental pollutions. Recent Publications 1.
