On the performance of ruthenium dyes in dye sensitized solar cells

Dye Sensitized Solar Cells are a novel type of solar cells converting sunlight energy into electricity at an efficiency of 12%. These devices are based on Michael Gratzel´s invention, where one electrode of a photo pile is

Exploitation of bacteria for solar energy harvesting

The amount of solar light hitting the surface of the earth in one hour is enough to meet the energy requirements of the whole earth for one year, the challenge is to design a system to convert
