N2 - The long-term viability of human civilization is heavily reliant on a sustainable energy supply, and fossil fuels have long been the most sustainable source of energy. However, since fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source, their depletion is unavoidable and inevitable in this century. Renewable energy, notably solar energy (SE), has gotten a lot of attention as a solution to this problem because it transforms SE through technology into electrical power (EP) with no environmental impact. For its inherent low unit cost and simplicity of production, organic-solar cells (OSCs) have recently been the topic of investigation for both home and commercial uses. OSCs also have a weight and flexibility benefit over standard silicon-based crystalline solar cells (CSCs). Research has suggested that dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are the most effective and simple to implement of all the OSCs. In this mini review, we survey the existing DSSCs literature and attempts made to improve its performance based on mangifera indica natural dye, an eco-friendly, cost-effective, easy to extract, source of natural dye with high conversion efficiency.
