Experiment Testing the effectiveness of different dyes (fruit juices) in dye-sensitized solar cells Picture Reference: http://hometowncolumbia.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/strawberry_blueberry.jpg?w=490
Materials Clear conductive surface (ITO glass) Electron donor (organic dye) Electron receiver (TiO2) Electrolyte (I3 + H2O ) Voltmeter SUN
How it Works? Reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHTbw5jy6qU
What it Looks Like Detailed procedure available upon request! Picture Reference: Research on the usability of low-cost materials in dye sensitized solar cells
Results Data Reference: Research on the usability of low-cost materials in dye sensitized solar cells
Improvements Test for durability Test an array of potential dyes Different back electrode Different catalyst
Conclusion Young Technology Cheap ANYONE CAN DO IT!
