RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR CELLS AND SOLAR FUELS AT THE CENTER FOR MOLECULAR DEVICES

摘要

With the development of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC), conventional solid-state photovoltaic technologies are challenged by devices functioning at a molecular and nano-level. DSC is relatively better compared to other solar cell technologies under diffuse light conditions and at higher temperatures. The possibilities to design solar cells with respect to shape, color and transparency and to integrate them into different products open up new commercial opportunities.
