  As technology continues to evolve, the demand for renewable and sustainable
energy continues to grow. As the use of renewable energies, specifically
photovoltaics, is continually being adopted and incorporate into everyday life,
it is evident that a need for an increase in the amount of energy that is
derived from these processes is necessary. In the exploration of dye sensitized
solar cells (DSSC) a recent and increased involvement in the application of
carbon based nanomaterials and the effects of their unique electronic
properties is being investigated. Additionally, as the development of DSSC
continues to break way, different methods of dye selection and photoanode
scaffolding are being researched to ultimately increase the Power Conversion
Efficiency (PCE) of these cells.
