Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

A dye sensitized solar cell is a wet solar cell composed of two conductive glasses filled between with an interim electrolyte solution one of the conductive glasses having a titania tio 2 film carrying a dye the tio 2 film sintering on the conductive glass and including a porous structure some dozens of nanometers thick and the other conductive glass serving as an opposing electrode.
