The findings essentially highlight the spectroscopic and electron transfer mechanism for the future trend of D-π-A natural pigment modification. The complete pigment comparison, dye absorbance, dye adsorption onto the semiconductor, dye electronic properties, electron excitation, and regeneration were investigated using spectroscopic methods. Cells employ TiO2 mesoporous nanoparticles (19.18 nm grain size, 50.99 m2 g-1 surface area, 87.8% anatase 12.2% rutile, 10.58 μm thickness, 3.18 eV band gap) sensitized by anthocyanin-N719 photosensitizer (12.2 mM) with the I-/I3- electrolyte (0.1 M lithium iodide/0.05 M iodine/0.6 M 1-buty-3-methylimidazolium iodide/0.5 M 4-tert-butylpyridine/polyethylene oxide Mw = 1 × 106)-Pt film. As a result, the quasi-solid state with combined anthocyanin-ruthenium dye-sensitized solar cell (3.51%) is achieved and reported for the first time. The work also achieved the highest efficiency of the anthocyanin dye-sensitized quasi-solid state solar cells of 2.65%. The insight on how the combined anthocyanin-N719 and the quasi-solid state electrolytes exhibit better performances will be further discussed.
