Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are the third generation photovoltaic cells developed by Michael Grätzel et al. It has the advantages of low preparation cost, simple manufacturing process, adjustable optical performance and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Photosensitizer is the core component of DSSCs, transmitting electrons to semiconductor conduction band by absorbing visible light, which is very important to the electronic cycle of the whole battery. Noble metal complexes such as N719 are widely used as photosensitizers, but they are very expensive and difficult to realize large-scale industrialization. Therefore, the search for low-cost non-noble metal photosensitizers is a challenge in this field. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a kind of molecular-based nanomaterials with nano-size and molecular inorganic semiconductor materials. The oxygen-enriched surface of polyoxometalates can be activated and modified. The absorption spectrum can cover the visible and even near infrared regions. It has appropriate redox potential, good thermal stability and solubility. A series of studies have shown that surface polyoxometalates can be used as photosensitizers in DSSCs. In this paper, based on the work accumulated by our research group in the field of POMs and solar cells over the years and the work of domestic and foreign peer experts, the application of polyoxometalates-based photosensitizers in DSSCs is reviewed in detail. Firstly, the research significance of DSSCs, the introduction of polyoxometalates, the measurement and adjustment of energy levels of polyoxometalates are described. After that, we mainly reviewed the use of polyoxometalates as photosensitizers and co-sensitizers in DSSCs. Finally, we summarized and prospected the development prospects of polyoxometalates photosensitizers in the field of DSSCs. This review may be of interest to researchers in the fields of polyoxometalates chemistry, material chemistry and emerging interdisciplinary disciplines. It also provides new ideas for the research of photosensitizers for solar cells.
