Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Kit from Solideas.com
California based firm "Solideas.com" has developed a solar (photovoltaic, or PV) cell kit, using natural dyes extracted from berries. This solar cell kit provides an interdisciplinary context for students learning the basic principles of biological extraction, chemistry, physics, environmental science and electron transfer.
These solar cell kits are based on work on nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cells that use an organic dye to absorb incoming light to produce excited electrons.
