Abstract
Low priced and environment-friendly natural dye from coumarin- containing plants for the dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was developed. Dyes were extracted from cinnamon and angelica that contained coumarin derivatives, and DSSCs employing these dyes were prepared. PV efficiency of 0.75% was obtained from cinnamon dye, which is comparable to the highest efficiency reported in precedent studies about natural dye DSSC. It was confirmed by UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy that coumarin derivatives in the plants acted as photosensitive material.
