renewable energy global innovations logoPublished research from Dyesol's scientists has been publicized in Renewable Energy Global Innovations online magazine.
Abstract: This work provides the state-of-the-art of dye solar cell chemical stability, assessed through accelerated ageing at temperatures up to 95 °C and shows that solvent-based dye solar cells (DSCs) can pass 1000 h/85 °C tests with less than 10% loss of performance...
Highlights:
- Dye solar cell chemical stability has been assessed through accelerated ageing at temperatures up to 95 °C.
- Solvent-based dye solar cells can pass 1000 h/85 °C tests with less than 10% loss of performance.
- Dye solar cell stability crucially depends on the nature of the electrolyte solvent, with the less stable solvents such as GBL or - MPN resulting in electrolyte bleaching upon high
- The metal-free dye Y123 showed less than 10% loss of performance after 3000 h at 85 °C.
- “Industrial DSC toolbox” of analysis methods used to study performance degradation mechanisms.

Graetzel to Receive Marcel Benoist Prize 2013
Sep 2, 2013
marcel benoist logoMichael Graetzel, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the EPF Lausanne, is to receive this year’s Marcel Benoist Prize...Michael Graetzel is one of the most successful chemists in the world with his work being cited more than 100,000 times. In addition to his academic work, Graetzel’s research has also resulted in a number of patents and spin-off companies whose first applications are currently emerging on the market...The official ceremony to award the Marcel Benoist Prize will take place at the EPF Lausanne on 19 November. The Prize, sometimes called the ‘Swiss Nobel Prize,’ has been awarded every year since 1920 to researchers working in Switzerland for major contributions in disciplines of significance to human life.

Ideal Match for BIPV
Aug 29, 2013
Despite their presently lower conversion efficiency, dye-sensitized solar cells hold huge promise for the future, particularly in building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) applications. The original dye-sensitized cells as developed since the early 1990’s by the Swiss researcher Michael Grätzel process sunlight via a ruthenium complex dye, a layer of titanium oxide, and an electrolyte. Meanwhile, other charge-transfer dye families, such as porphyrins and various purely organic dyes, have proved to be similarly effective...

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Move On
Aug 20, 2013
The solar industry struggles as a glut of solar cells and modules keeps retail prices below levels that will deliver a profit. That is not a problem for solar power technology developer Dyesol (DYSOY: OTC/BB). The Australia-based company has moved on to better technologies where the cost dynamic is more favorable.
