Topic: DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS
Description:
A low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional silicon based solar cell devices is the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The first dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was presented by Michel Grätzel at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. DSSC devices comprises of four major constituents: semiconductor electrode (n-type TiO2), dye sensitizer, redox electrolyte and counter electrode (carbon or platinum). DSSCs are a class of photoelectrochemical cells, which converts solar light to electric energy. It is inexpensive to prepare, and the light-weight thin-film structures are compatible with automated manufacturing and thus potentially has easy scaling possibilities.

CLEAN ENERGY FRO SARGASSUM SEAWEED PLANT
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies consist of any waste treatment process that creates energy in the form of electricity, heat or transport fuels (e.g. diesel) from a waste source. Sargassum is a type of seaweed, or brown algae, that grows mostly on the ocean’s surface and floats in large masses. It has been observed that too much sargassum can have a negative impact on sea life. Excess blooms can inhibit sunlight, and kill the seagrass growing underneath. A low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional silicon based solar cell devices is the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Finally, the research intends to fabricate DSSCs using newly synthesized dye from Sargassum plant, keeping semiconductor and electrolyte unchanged in the cell. It is hoped that new sensitizers would lead to improved efficiency and give valuable information about structural dependence on efficiency of DSSCs.
