Colouring substance sensitive photo-electrochemical solar cell

摘要

The cell with a dye converts photons into electrons and has an arrangement for generating useful electric current from the electrons. The dye is free of metal complex compositions. Preferably, the dyestuff used for the solar cell is that used in dyestuff laser, typically nitrogen-pumped dyestuff laser. Stilbene (1,2-diphenyl-ethylene), rhodamine, coumarin, Nile blue, or their mixtures may be used.
