Abstract: The need to produce renewable energy with low production cost is indispensable in making the dream of avoiding undue reliance on non-renewable energy a reality. The emergence of a third-generation photovoltaic technology that is still in the infant stage gives hope for such a dream. Solar cells sensitized by dyes, quantum dots and perovskites are considered to be third-generation technological devices. This research focuses on the development of suitable and reliable sensitizers to widen electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption and to ensure stability of the photovoltaic system. This article discusses the basic principles and the progress in sensitized photovoltaics.
