New Understanding of Electrolyte Additives Will Improve Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Laptops and mobile phones, among other devices, could be charged or powered indoors, away from direct sunlight using dye-sensitized solar cells.

Dye-sensitized solar cells used in low-light conditions could perform more consistently thanks to improved understanding of the role additives play in optimizing electrolytes. Laptops and mobile phones, among other devices, could be charged or powered indoors, away from direct sunlight, using dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), which have achieved efficiencies of up to 34% at 1000 lux from a fluorescent lamp.   Copper-based electrolytes containing various combinations of additives have bee...
