  2. Dye sensitized solar cells are a type of thin film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electrical energy. These devices use a different mechanism than conventional solar cells and can be made from materials which are biocompatible and biodegradable. The simplicity of design and small environmental impact of these devices make them a likely candidate for replacing conventional PV devices. Since these solar cells are thin film cells, they can be made to be transparent and can be printed on flexible substrate, allowing their incorporation into many household objects such as windows, backpacks, walls, and other objects which would otherwise not be used for energy generation. A wide variety of fabrication techniques and device designs exist for DSSCs, each having its benefits and deficiencies; it is the purpose of this paper to evaluate some of these design variations, including different semiconductor and dye types and scaffolds, as well as semiconductor surface treatment.
