Funded Activity Summary

MICROWAVE PROCESSING OF FLEXIBLE DYE SENSITISED SOLAR CELLS. Solar energy is the most attractive renewable and environmentally sustainable energy source. Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are one type of device that can harvest this energy, offering advantages of low materials cost and ease of fabrication when compared to silicon-based solar cells. This project aims to develop efficient, flexible DSSCs by using polymer substrates in place of glass. Microwave processing will be employed to fabricate the semiconductor layers on polymer substrates. Novel surface modification approaches will be examined to facilitate microwave processing and improve cell efficien
