MyScience-Green Dye Solar Cell Breakthrough
Wonderful Things 2 Comments »The Green Dye sensetized Solar cells harness more energy from the Sun
Solar energy is the most attractive option, because, in it’s base form, that is where Earth gets pretty much all of its energy. Plants do a very efficient job of converting this energy into useful forms; our solar cells can’t compare. Either for straight up electricity, or hydrogen generation, artificial photosynthesis could solve many of our energy problem.And here’s come the breakthrough by harness the nature and its chlorophyll photosynthesis effect state of Green by dye sensitised it.
Researchers at Massey University of New Zealand developed range of natural dye sensitised solar cells which could extract more energy from the sun and cost only one tenth of current silicon photo electric solar cell.The invention was headed by Dr Wayne Campbell with his team of researchers in the Uninversity’s Nanomaterials Research Centre.
