The Sun, whose light energy hitting Earth is several times greater than the global need, has become a growing source of green energy production with hopes of decreasing the amount of fossil fuels burned. However, current solar panels based on silicon require high cost material processing techniques and can contain caustic materials. The development of next generation solar fuel sources, based on dye sensitization and subsequent energy and electron transfers to drive current, or hydrogen production and water oxidation, will rely on understanding the fundamental photophysical properties of the dyes and their device constructs.
