New understanding of electrolyte additives will improve dye-sensitised solar cells

Melbourne, Australia (SPX) Sep 04, 2020

Dye-sensitised solar cells used in low-light conditions could perform more consistently thanks to improved understanding of the role additives play in optimising electrolytes. Laptops and mobile phones, among other devices, could be charged or powered indoors, away from direct sunlight, using dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs), which have achieved efficiencies of up to 34% at 1000 lux from
