Education Cell Spare Parts

A Great Asset for Education

Dye Solar Cell technology can be a fantastic topic for training courses. In that sense, the Education Dye Solar Cell program has been designed to allow professors and students to easily make their own operational solar cells.

This set consists of an affordable titania electrode that is ready to be stained with a natural dye such as those found in berries. This kind of preparation is very convenient to do, and demonstrates the use of ingredients from nature to generate power from a renewable energy source. The resulting solar cell is powerful enough to power a small electric load.

Easy, or Over Easy

For simplicity, the solar cell can be assembled by clipping the two electrodes against each other (Basic Kit). For durability, the electrodes may also be sealed with the help of the appropriate gasket (Advanced Kit). The kit is very versatile and can be adapted to your requirements.

Also For Research

More experienced users can build state-of-the-art Dye Solar Cells from this kit, using a synthetic ruthenium sensitizer, an advanced iodide electrolyte and platinized counter-electrode.
