Abstract: Of late, photovoltaics have achieved enormous growth as sustainable energy source. It is witnessed that solar cells being the renewable and pollution free source of electrical energy can easily replace the traditional fossil fuels. This communication overviewed the basic role of various components of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and the use of nanomaterials to enhance their efficiency. Furthermore, recent trends and future prospects of DSSCs are emphasized.
