Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Whats the types of conductive polymers known till now which give the best efficiency to the dye sensitized solar cells and also the types of Ru(II) used ?
all what i care about is the high efficiency and stability.
i will be very...

Look up the work of Wayne Campbell at Massey University, New Zealand, who has experimented with a wide variety of organic dyes based on porphyrin, and reported solar cell efficiency of 7% and more.

This shows the steps of the production of the dye sensitized solar cell as described in the lab manual. stc-mditr.org

Does anybody have any experience or comments on this?

Yes, thick film hybrid process is being used to make DSC's. Source: http://www.dyesol.com/index.php?page=Man ufacturing . Our thick film furnaces (http://www.beltfurnaces.com/product.html ) are being used by Dyesol in firing screen printed titania...

Conversion Efficiency or $/Watt? Which is more important?

No doubt, the cell efficiency is important. Silicon wafer solar cells convert typically 15–20% of the sun's energy into DC power, thin-film solar cells are in the 8–10% range and DSC's in 3-7% range. But cell efficiency is just one number in a...
