Since early 1990s dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) has been developed by many research groups all over the World. This paper presents a review of researches focusing on photosensitizer influence on DSSC efficiency. Variety of dye substance has been analyzed. The highest efficiency around 11.2% has been noted for ruthenium-based DSSC devices. Natural dyes allowed to reach 4.6%. The most metal-free organic dyes resulted in efficiency ranged from 5% to 9%, however, some of them (e.g. Y123) allowed to obtain devices with efficiencies equal to 10.3%. Co-sensitization is the new approach which results in efficiencies up to 14.3%.

Od początku lat 90 XX wieku ogniwa barwnikowe przyciągają uwagę naukowców na całym świecie. Praca ta poświęcona jest przeglądowi badań dotyczących wpływowi substancji sensybilizujących na sprawność barwnikowych ogniw słonecznych (DSSC). Największą sprawność uzyskują ogniwa sensybilizowane barwnikami na bazie rutenu, podczas gdy barwniki naturalne pozwalają na pracę z wydajnością 4,6%. Sprawność konwersji energii ogniw uczulanych barwnikami organicznymi wynosi 5-9%, jednakże niektóre z nich, np. Y123 pozwalają na uzyskanie wydajności rzędu 10,3%. Zastosowanie kilku barwników do sensybilizacji jest nowym podejściem, które przekłada się na wartości sprawności nawet do 14,3%.
