| Sunny Dye-Light: Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Division: | Sciences physiques et des mathématiques | Catégorie: | Junior | Région: | | Ville: | , | École: | | Sommaire: | This project tested the solar conversion efficiency of three inexpensive natural anthocyanin dyes (blackberry, pomegranate and raspberry) when used in dye-sensitized solar cells. The solar cell efficiency was measured using an Oriel I-V (current-voltage) Solar Simulator. Blackberry dye was found to have the highest average efficiency. A prototype for charging mobile devices and music players was constructed utilizing the dye-sensitized solar cells. |
