Concerning today’s main power generations, there are various problems. For examples, thermal power generation consumes a large amount of fossil fuels, and nuclear power generation is not safe. Therefore, dye-sensitized solar cells are expected as future clean energy. They can be made with cheap costs. However, most of the researchers use Ruthenium complex as dye, which is very expensive. Therefore, we used eggplant and black soybean as dyes which are natural dyes and cheap. We have fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells, and examined their characteristics. As a result, we achieved a conversion efficiency of 0.64% with eggplant’s dye, and in the case of black soybean’s dye the conversion efficiency became 0.65 %. |
