| Meagan Fabel Fun in the Sun! Increasing Grätzel Cell Efficiency Using Diatom Frustules
Défi: | Énergie | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Windsor | Ville: | Windsor, ON | École: | Walkerville S.S. | Sommaire: | The introduction of Synedra diatoms into a Grätzel cell was examined, testing six independent variables (amount of diatom solution, growth solution, titanium dioxide solution, counter electrode preparation, type of pigment, and type of solar cell) to optimize electrical energy produced. Results indicated that the integration of Synedra diatom frustules into the Grätzel cell increased the voltage by 5.9 times compared to a regular Grätzel cell. |
