We see plenty of solar projects here on Hackaday, but they primarily consist of projects that use an off-the-shelf solar panel to power something else. We see very few projects where people actually ...

P-type dye-sensitised solar cells (p-DSSCs) represent a promising class of photovoltaic devices that utilise p-type semiconductors – most commonly nickel oxide – as the photoactive electrode. These ...

What are Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)? DSSCs are semi-transparent, flexible, and efficient thin film solar cells that enable a variety of applications not possible with rigid silicon-based ...

Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) offer a promising alternative to conventional photovoltaic devices due to their low cost, ease of fabrication and potential for flexible applications. Central to ...

Forward-looking: Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are cheap, transparent, and flexible. The promising technology set a new record in efficiency for turning visible light into electric energy, making ...

The history of mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) dates back to the 1990s, when they were demonstrated by Brian O'Regan and Michael Grätzel at Switzerland’s École polytechnique fédérale de ...

In lab tests, separate sheets of nanocellulose film that had been treated with each of the additives were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells, which were then placed under a UV lamp for 1,000 hours.

Scientists have increased the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells beyond 15% in direct sunlight and 30% in ambient light conditions. Scientists at EPFL have increased the power ...

Solar cells are quickly becoming one of the main ways to produce clean electricity in many countries in the world. Over the past few decades, a tremendous amount of effort has been dedicated to making ...

Mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) were invented in 1990s by Brian O'Regan and Michael Grätzel, taking on the latter’s name – the world-famous Grätzel cells. DSCs convert light into ...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a promising next-generation solar power technology, but they suffer from dye aggregation on electrodes, which reduces charge carriers and the conversion ...
