ABSTRACT

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a new breakthrough concept in the world of photovoltaic cells. They are an organic alternative to the already commercially wide-spread solar panels. They use anthocyanins, which are flavonoids found in many plant foods, as a way to create the photovoltaic effect. So far DSSCs are very hard to make and the main focus of our study is improving upon the process of making DSSCs, more specifically on how to dye the cell itself.
