Researchers investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties of different bio-based UV ...

In lab tests, separate sheets of nanocellulose film that had been treated with each of the additives were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells, which were then placed under a UV lamp for 1,000 hours.

Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their cost-effective materials, simplified fabrication processes and attractive aesthetic versatility. By ...

A group of scientists led by India's National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST) claims to have boosted the stability and efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells for ...
