摘要: Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) can be described as a form of artificial photosynthesis because light is captured in similar manner by chromophore. However, whilst the energy chemical bio-molecules, electricity product for DSCs making this an example photovoltaic (PV) technology. One key advantage compared to vacuum-processed, p-n junction PV technologies potential it manufactured at very large scale DSC raw materials are readily available and technology lends itself roll-to-roll continuous processing. This chapter describes some existing issues associated with manufacturing devices along remaining challenges achieve goal large-scale development.
