Natural dye extract of the saffron petal, purified by solid-phase extraction (SPE) technique, has been studied as a novel sensitizing dye to fabricate TiO2 nanoparticles-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The extract was characterized using ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies to confirm the presence of anthocyanins in saffron petals. The typical current–voltage and the incident photon to current efficiency (IPCE) curves were also provided for the fabricated cell. The saffron petal extract exhibited an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.397 V, short circuit current density (Jsc) of 2.32 mA/cm2, fill factor (FF) of 0.71, and conversion efficiency of 0.66%, which are fairly good in comparison with the other similar natural dye-sensitized solar cells. These are mainly due to the improved charge transfer between the dye extract of saffron petal and the TiO2 anode surface. Considering these results, it can be concluded that the use of saffron petal dye as a sensitizer in DSSC is a promising method for providing clean energy from performance, environmental friendliness, and cost points of view.

Abstract Clean-energy technologies have been welcomed due to environmental concerns and high fossil-fuel costs. Today, photovoltaic (PV) cells are among the most well-known technologies that are used today to integrate with buildings. Particularly, these cells have attracted the attention of researchers and designers, combined with the windows and facades of buildings, as solar cells that are in a typical window or facade of a building can reduce the demand for urban electricity by generating clean electricity. Among the four generations that have been industrialized in the development of solar cells, the third generation, including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and perovskite, is used more in combination with the facades and windows of buildings. Due to the characteristics of these cells, the study of transparency, colour effect and their impact on energy consumption is considerable. Up to now, case studies have highlighted the features mentioned in the building combination. Therefore, this paper aims to provide constructive information about the practical and functional features as well as the limitations of this technology, which can be used as a reference for researchers and designers.
