Dye solar cells

Dye-sensitized solar cell — Dye cells are regenerative dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells. Its working principle for energy conversion is based upon photon absorption by a sensitizer with subsequent electron transfer from a photoexcited state of the sensitizer into the - conduction band of a - semiconductor, and from the semiconductor to external circuitry. A charge mediator, a suitable - redox couple is added to the cell - electrolyte for re-reducing the oxidized dye. The mediator is... [Pg.172]

Generally, Solar cells categorized into three main groups consisting of inorganic, organic and hybrid solar cells (Dye sensitized solar cells). Inorganic solar cells cover more than 95% of commercial products in solar cells industry. [Pg.83]
