Sunlight Conversion

For example, sulphur dioxide is highly water soluble and tends to be absorbed in the airways above the larynx. Responses at various concentrations are summarized in Table 5.3. However, in the presence of particulate catalysts and sunlight, conversion to sulphur trioxide occurs and the in itant response is much more severe.

Since Gratzel et al. introduced the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSG) in 1991 using Ti02 films as anode electrodes [262], these cells have become the focus of intense investigation. Its low cost and relatively high efficiencies for sunlight conversion... 

This semiconductor has the optimum bandgap for sunlight conversion (1.42 eV) and so, like Si, is commonly used for solid-state photovoltaic elements. In our case the complete water decomposition for hydrogen and oxygen does not take place. 

If the Schottky barrier cells are by far the most extensively studied, the limited absorption spectra of single-layer films, combined with the narrow widths of their depletion layer, restrict the ultimate sunlight conversion to about 4% [55]. An organic p-n junction, in contrast, should have a higher efficiency because of improved matching of absorption and solar spectra by the use of more than one absorber in the depletion layer. The p-n junction, in fact, is composed of two layers, constituted of a p-type and an n-type organic conductor. 

The fabrication of the first efficient large area (ca. 1 cm8) SBSC has been reported.72 73 It consists of a Schottky barrier of 5 nm Cr overlaid with 5—7 nm Cu on 2 fi cm p-type silicon, with a top (ohmic) contact of A1 fingers covered with 69 nm of antireflective silicon oxide coating. The sunlight conversion efficiency of the cell is 9.5%.
