Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology have found
a way to make dye-sensitized solar cells more energy-efficient and
longer-lasting.
Drawing their inspiration from photosynthesis,
dye-sensitized solar cells offer the promise of low-cost solar photovoltaics
and – when coupled with catalysts – even the possibility of generating hydrogen
and oxygen, just like plants. A study published in August could lead to more
efficient and longer-lasting dye-sensitized solar cells, says one of the
researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
