Clean and cheap device, namely dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated using a natural dye extracted from Sambucus ebulus. We prepared five sample solutions with various pH in the extraction process to improve power conversion efficiency. The UV-visible absorption investigation of sample solutions and on photoanode show the dyes from J-type aggregation on a photoanode substrate. Redox proper-ties of all sample solutions certify thermodynamically a charge transfer from excited state to conduction band TiO2. The optical properties of various dye solutions were investigated and results showed dark-ness and bluish tint effect of dye solutions extracted in basic environment rather than those extracted in acidic condition. Moreover, in comparison to the basic condition, the dye solutions extracted in acidic environment were more saturated and colorimetrically less different from that one which extracted in neutral condition. Photophysical and photoelectrochemical performance of natural extraction dyes have been studied in dye-sensitized solar cell devices. The results show the rather high conversion efficiency of 0.57%, 1.15%, 1.02%, 0.35% and 0.15% of each individual dye extraction, respectively.
