The advent of novel technologies has led to the need for environmental and economic integration. Energy consumption plays a vital role in human existence, and thereby sustainable development is the need of the hour. When the methods of energy production are discussed, renewable resources are opted to meet the needs of the future with the key resources being solar and wind energy. Solar energy is widely adapted and harnessed due to its abundance and various benefits. Silicon-based solar cells, though produced higher efficiencies, have many cons due to their toxicity and cost. Dye-sensitized solar cells have been grounded as a better alternative due to their ability to function under low light, wider angles, and low internal temperature. In this review paper, various organic metal-free dyes, and their efficiencies along with their cell parameters are discussed. These metal-free dyes are adopted over conventional ruthenium dyes due to their non-toxicity, availability, and cost.
新型技术的出现使得环境和经济的融合成为必要。能源消耗在人类生存中起着至关重要的作用，因此可持续发展是当前的需要。在讨论能源生产方法时，人们选择可再生资源来满足未来的需求，其中关键资源是太阳能和风能。由于太阳能资源丰富且具有多种益处，因此被广泛应用和利用。基于硅的太阳能电池尽管效率更高，但由于其毒性和成本，存在许多缺点。染料敏化太阳能电池因其在低光、宽角度和低温下仍能正常工作的能力，已被证明是一种更好的替代方案。在这篇综述论文中，讨论了各种有机无金属染料及其效率以及电池参数。与传统的钌染料相比，这些无金属染料由于其无毒、易得和成本低而被采用。
