Abstract

The global focus on sustainable energy sources has intensified amidst concerns over environmental degradation caused by fossil fuel consumption. Solar energy stands out as a promising renewable alternative due to its abundance and eco-friendliness. Photovoltaic technology, particularly dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), has garnered significant attention for its cost-effectiveness, indoor operability, and adaptability to varying light conditions. Despite their potential, DSSCs require further enhancement in efficiency and stability for widespread adoption. Among the various sensitizers explored for DSSCs, ruthenium-based complexes have emerged as highly efficient candidates, owing to their unique photophysical properties. This review delves into the structural modification of ruthenium sensitizers to optimize absorption spectra and device efficiency. Additionally, it highlights recent advancements in leveraging experimental and computational approaches, including AI-ML programming, to facilitate the design and development of efficient ruthenium-based DSSCs. This comprehensive overview provides insights into the current state and prospects of ruthenium-based sensitizers in advancing DSSC technology.
