Abstract
The performances of natural dye-sensitized solar cells (N-DSSCs) assembled by using natural dyes extracted from spinach, amaranth and a mixture of them were investigated. In the sun, the Voc of cells sensitized by spinach extract was 450 mv, while those sensitezed by the mixture showed a Voc above 500 mv.
