Sustainable Electrolyte Media in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: From Water-Based to Deep Eutectic Solvents and Biopolymeric Approaches.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) represent a promising photovoltaic technology for indoor and building-integrated applications due to their colour tunability, semi-transparency, and favourable spectral response. However, the sustainability of conventional devices is hindered by the use of volatile organic solvent-based electrolytes, which raise concerns regarding toxicity, flammability, and long-term stability. This review analyses the evolution of DSSC architecture, with particular focus on electrolyte media, ranging from aqueous systems to deep eutectic solvents and bio-derived quasi-solid architectures. Special attention is focused on the interplay between electrolyte composition, dye design, and interfacial charge-transfer processes. By highlighting recent progress and remaining challenges, this work outlines viable strategies toward safe, durable, and fully sustainable DSSCs tailored for indoor and integrated photovoltaic applications.
