New, highly absorbent dyes for use in solar cells
2/2/2010Researchers at the University of Calgary have developed a series of dyes for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The new dyes absorb a wider range of solar radiation than conventional dyes. The absorbance capacity of this class of dyes is modified to include more useful wavelengths of light, to achieve a more efficient conversion of solar light to electrical energy. Read more.
