In the last two decades, research on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has shown tremendous improvement with promising findings. It has become one of the alternative options in replacing conventional silicon-based photovoltaics. Recently, a study towards the flexible form of solar cells has gained the attention of researchers. The features possess in DSSC such as high flexibility, light weight and environmentally friendly have made DSSC suitable for such purposes compared to rigid glass substrates. However, the biggest challenge faced by plastic-type substrates is temperature, where plastic substrates only withstand up to 150 ◦C before melting. In the DSSC fabrication process, temperatures as high as 400–500 ◦C are critically required for the purpose of material crystallization.
