Solar energy plays a critical role to secure the energy and environmental future of the earth.  The third-generation photovoltaic technologies promise to be high efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly.  These 3^rd-generation solar cells focus on emerging materials such as nanomaterials, organic semiconductors, and perovskites for solar energy harvesting and conversion to electricity.  Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), with efficiency over 13%, is the key initial technology in development of the 3^rd generation solar cells, and is considered as a promising alternative to the traditional silicon solar cells.  In this talk, I will present the fundamental aspects of materials, characterization, and device physics of DSSCs.  Recent developments in new strategies for high efficiency DSSCs will also be discussed.
