Dyesol Achieves Technical Breakthrough in Solid-State DSC
Dyesol, the world leader in the commercialisation of Dye Solar Cell (DSC) technology, has achieved a "game changing" technical breakthrough by achieving a solid-state DSC efficiency of 11.3% at full sun. The breakthrough comes as the technology transitions from liquid-based to solid-state systems to meet the demands of product life and mass manufacture. The variation in technology, known as ...

New solar panel technology stylish and sustainable
The new cell technology combines nanoparticles and organic dyes that can be produced in any number of colors and designs. The key component of the new modules is an organic dye which in combination with nanoparticles converts sunlight into electricity. Due to the small size of the nanoparticles, the modules are semi-transparent. This aspect makes them well suited for façade integration. The ...

Dying for solar power
Researchers at the University of Turku believe that flexible, lightweight and inexpensive dyes could be used to harvest the power of the sun rather than our relying on costly and fragile semiconductor solar panel that use crystalline silicon. Writing in the International Journal of Technology, Policy and Management this month, Jongyun Moon and colleagues Aulis Tuominen and Arho Suominen, explain ...

NREL Scientist Brian Gregg Named AAAS Fellow
Brian Gregg, a scientist at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). AAAS cited Gregg for "distinguished contributions to the field of solar photoconversion, particularly for developing a unified understanding of the photoconversion mechanism in the various cell types." At NREL, ...

Solar cell efficiency boosted with pine tree-like nanotube needle
‘Dye-sensitised solar cells’ (DSSCs) are an alternative to traditional silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells. They have a number of advantages over traditional PV solar cells, including greater flexibility and lower manufacturing cost, but they are less efficient at turning sunlight into electricity. Taking inspiration from nature, new research has doubled their efficiency using pine ...

Alfa Chemistry Announces Offering of Organic and Printed Electronics Materials
Organic materials enjoy advantages like more flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of manufacture, especially when compared with silicon-based materials. To make such materials more easily accessible to all researchers worldwide, earlier this month Alfa Chemistry announces that it now starts to offer a large array of organic and printed electronics materials. Organic printed electronic ...

New energy-efficient manufacture of perovskite solar cells that rivals silicon solar cells
‘Perovskite solar cells’ (PSCs) are less costly than conventional silicon solar cells, but one of their key components is energy-intensive to manufacture as high temperatures are needed. Now researchers have identified new alternative materials for this component which cut energy demands as they can be produced at low temperatures. PSCs replace the energy intensive, expensive, ...
