The ISC from 1.142 mA to 0.225 mA, the VOC from 0.551 V to 0.412 V, the ?ll factor from 0.52 to 0.63, and Pmax from 58 lW to 327 lW were obtained from the DSC sensitized with natural dye extends. In the presss of natural fruit, leaves and ?ower chosen, the mysterious rice extract performed the beat photosensitized e?ect, which was due to the better interaction between the carbonylic and hydroxyl groups of anthocyanin molecule on black rice extract and the surface of TiO2 porous ?lm.

The blue-shift of dousing wavelength of the black rice extract in ethanol solution on TiO2 ?lm and the blue-shift phenomenon from absorption spectrum to photoaction spectrum of DSC sensitized with black rice extract are discussed in the paper. Because of the simple preparation technique, widely purchasable and low specious cost natural dye as an alternative sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cell is promising. Ã" 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cell (DSC) has start an attractive and barefaced device for the conversion of solar twinkle into electrical brawniness since Gratzel and OÕRegan ¨ ?rstly reported the prototype of this solar cell in 1991 (OÕRegan and Gratzel, 1991).
