英文摘要	The generation of clean energy is one of the most pressing concerns in the upcoming future, due to the subsequent growing population and energy demand. For the past two decades, dye-sensitized solar cells serves as the rudiment in the field of energy conversion. Ease availability with reasonable fabrication cost coupled with effective efficiency and endless energy made DSSC a feasible candidate in the area of research. In this review article, the structure, primary function, key elements of DSSC, and performance parameters are observed along with a focus on the potent photosensitizers due to charge production. DSSC fabricated using organic sensitizers provide high durability and better efficiency even though they were suffering from significant obstacles, such as poor conversion efficiency, degradation tendency when exposed to sunlight, high cost of fabrication, and toxic material usage. The contradictory results about DSSC based on natural sensitizers are described according to the published report, which could help future research. These drawbacks have opened up a bio-compatible sensitizer that contains natural derivatives such as chlorophyll, anthocyanin, carotenoid, and flavonoid. This alternate sensitizer was responsible for photon absorption and injection of charge carriers onto the TiO2 conduction band. Hence, the leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, etc. act as the source for pigment extraction in the fabrication of DSSC. This review signifies the recent progress in the development of DSSC using photo-sensitizers viz., natural sensitizers extracted as dyes present in organic plants, flowers, stems, barks, roots, etc. for absorption of solar radiance in the visible region. Enhancement of photo-conversion efficiency by incorporating the natural dyes has proven the activity of artificial photosynthesis of DSSC. Remarks of researchers all over the world regarding the process of cocktailing the natural dyes for DSSC have been taken into account to investigate the challenges faced in flourishing a radically ideal DSSC. Furthermore, plant-based DSSCs are thought to be the most propitious sustainable energy resource for semi-arid regions in the future due to the average solar radiation as well as technological and economic considerations.
