Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Dye-sensitized solar cell - Dye-sensitized solar cells 1 Dye-sensitized solar cells separate the two functions provided by silicon in a traditional cell design

Dye-sensitized solar cells - Construction 1 TiO2 only absorbs a small fraction of the solar photons (those in the UV).Juan Bisquert, [ solar_cells.htm Dye-sensitized solar cells], Departament de Física, Universitat Jaume I The plate is then immersed in a mixture of a photosensitive ruthenium- pyridine|polypyridine dye (also called molecular sensitizers) and a solvent

Dye-sensitized solar cells - Efficiency 1 Overall peak power conversion efficiency for current DSSCs is about 11%.American Chemical Society, [ htm Ultrathin, Dye-sensitized Solar Cells Called Most Efficient To Date], ScienceDaily, 20 September 2006 Current record for prototypes lies at 15%.[ sensitized-solar-cells-rival-conventional-ce-2/ press release of EPFL][ n7458/full/nature12340.html Nature]: Sequential deposition as a route to high-performance perovskite-sensitized solar cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells - Disadvantages 1 This, along with the fact that the solvents permeate plastics, has precluded large- scale outdoor application and integration into flexible structure.Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, [ 8/06/ htm New Efficiency Benchmark For Dye-sensitized Solar Cells], ScienceDaily, 3 November

Dye-sensitized solar cells - Disadvantages 1 Replacing the liquid electrolyte with a solid has been a major ongoing field of research. Recent experiments using solidified melted salts have shown some promise, but currently suffer from higher degradation during continued operation, and are not flexible.Nathalie Rossier-Iten, [ Solid hybrid dye-sensitized solar cells: new organic materials, charge recombination and stability], École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne,

Dye-sensitized solar cells The first successful solid-hybrid dye- sensitized solar cells were reported.

Dye-sensitized solar cells A group of researchers at Georgia Tech made dye-sensitized solar cells with a higher effective surface area by wrapping the cells around a quartz optical fiber

Dye-sensitized solar cells - Market introduction 1 *Sony Corporation has developed dye- sensitized solar cells with an energy conversion efficiency of 10%, a level seen as necessary for commercial use.

Anthocyanin - Dye-sensitized solar cells 1 Anthocyanins have been used in organic solar cells because of their ability to convert light energy into electrical energy. The many benefits to using dye-sensitized solar cells instead of traditional pn junction silicon cells include lower purity requirements and abundance of component materials, such as titania, as well as the fact they can be produced on flexible substrates, making them amenable to roll-to-roll printing processes.
