Dye-sensitized solar cells with natural dyes extracted from achiote seeds

We have explored the application of natural dyes extracted from the seeds of the achiote shrub ( Bixa orellana L.) in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The main pigments are bixin and norbixin, which were obtained by separation and purification from the dark-red extract (annatto). The dyes were cha...
