| Abstract | Dye sensitized solar cells or “Grätzel” cells are electrochemical devices capable of performing the direct conversion of light into electricity and are less expensive than traditional silicon solar cells. The most efficient dyes for Grätzel cells are those composed by the coordination compounds of ruthenium ions, which have high cost due to the shortage of ruthenium (Ru) element in the Earth’s crust. Thus, the study of dyes with lower cost is crucial for the viability of this technology on a large scale. Natural dyes are easily extracted in addition to being environmentally friendly and presenting reduced cost. Anthocyanins are the most important pigments of vascular plants, providing color to the flowers and fruits. In grapes, anthocyanins are found exclusively in the skin and can be easily extracted with ethanol at room temperature. In this work we used the ethanolic extract of anthocyanins from Vitis labrusca grape in the sensitization of TiO$_{2}$ electrodes and production of a Grätzel cell. The prepared Grätzel cell presents a short-circuit current of 0.045 mA/cm$^{2}$, above that of the cell sensitized with commercial N719 dye, which was 0.032 mA/cm$^{2}$. However, the open circuit voltage was 0.293 V, lower than that sensitized with N719 (0.335 V). The fill factor of the anthocyanin sensitized cell was 46.19 %, higher than that of the N719 sensitized cell, 42.72 %. These results are consistent with the greater absorption of light radiation observed in the cell with grape anthocyanins in comparison with the cells sensitized with N719 dye. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
