Dye solar cells (DSCs) are third generation solar cells with the promise of high efficiency combined with low production costs. While present day DSCs provide light-to-electricity conversion of up to 11%, significant further improvement is envisaged through optimized materials and novel cell and module architectures.

Dye-sensitized solar cells directly convert sunlight to electricity

One of the more traditional photovoltaic devices, single crystalline silicon solar cells were invented more than 50 years ago, currently make up 94% of the market. Single crystalline silicon solar cells operate on the principle of p-n junctions formed by joining p-type and n-type semiconductors.

Optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and light-emitting field effect transistors (FETs) that utilize organic materials as their light harvesting and/or charge transporting component have been the subject of much academic and commercial attention.
