Abstract: In the present course of study, deliberate investigation of natural dyes versus synthetic dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been undergone through. Although quoted efficiency values of artificial dyes like N7 dye, black dye and N719 dye etc. is efficiently higher than natural ones such as turmeric, rosella, sweet potato leaf and blue pea etc. Yet the latter meet the fundamental aim of DSSC i.e. low cost to performance ratio. Also considered dyes cause no environment threat, easily extractable, abundant and safe. Several methods to improve the performance of these innate dyes have been explored. Parameters viz. pH level of extract, extraction method, extracting temperature, multilayer configurations and usage with nanostructures can be considered as a great step to reach the higher value of output. Among natural dyes root of maharanga bi color herb, mangosteen pericarp etc. have proved their candidature as best anchoring choromophores in dye-sensitized solar cells.
