Preparation of Sodium Hydroxide By Utilization Of Biodegradable Waste-Derived Sensitizers Using Solar Energy

Now a days natural dyes have emerged as a sustainable, environment friendly, economically viable alternative to synthetic dyes [1]. This article focused on utilization of extracted natural dyes i.e. Yellow Marigold Flower Dye and Dried Walnut Shells Dye from biodegradable waste [which are ; Yellow Marigold Flower (Tagetes erecta) waste and Dried Walnut Shells waste] as a sensitizers in closed four sided ‘Cuboidal-Dye Sensitized Solar Cell’ (Cuboidal-DSSC) for sodium hydroxide production. The aim was to use of a sustainable energy i.e. Solar Energy as energy source rather than using Electricity which is used as a energy source in conventional methods for sodium hydroxide production, but along with this the another advantage is along with sodium hydroxide production Electricity is being produced from our fabricated closed four sided ‘Cuboidal-Dye Sensitized Solar Cell’. And we will use this prepared sodium hydroxide (in our ‘Cuboidal-Dye Sensitized Solar Cell’) in our further research for Biofuel production.
