The Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Behind the Scenes of “Sunny Memories” swissnex San Francisco 21 April 2010 Brian E. Hardin  Stanford University  Filling in for:  Kevin Sivula  Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Email: bhardin@stanford.edu
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Gr ätzel lab is a five minute walk from Lac Léman and beach volleyball courts.
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells are Photovoltaic Devices   On a sunny day, the power from the sun (P sun ) is one kilowatt per meter squared (1 kW/m 2 ).   Power from Solar Cell:  Power Conversion Efficiency:
A new in paradigm in solar energy conversion
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Components   Chemical Structure of N3 Dye Sensitizing Dye Titania Nanoparticles 20 nm Titania nanoparticles Electrolyte  Iodide/Tri-iodide Redox Couple

Why Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells are nicknamed the “Grätzel Cell”  O’Regan and M. Gratzel, Nature  1991 Substrate Dye monolayer Dye Sensitized Mesoporous anatase TiO 2 Single crystal TiO 2   ( <101> anatase)
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells are 12% Efficient. What can we do to make them better?  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Where do we need to absorb the light?  Solar Spectrum  Dye-sensitized solar cells absorb >85% of visible light, but almost no light in the near-infrared.  Visible light Infrared Light

The Science Behind Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Solar Powered Solar Panel Sun Glasses The SIG, or “Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses” are quite simple. The lenses of the glasses have dye solar cells,  collecting energy and making it able to power your small devices through the power jack  at the back of the frame.  “Infinite Energy: SIG”
