Impact of solvents on the extraction and purification of vegetable dyes onto the efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cells
Abstract Eight vegetable dyes extracted from flowers, fruits and leaves abundant in the wide biodiversity of the Andes region of South America were extracted with ethanol without purification to explore as vegetable photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The absorbance spectra were...
