Harnessing solar energy with Grätzel cells
journal contribution
posted on 2007-10-22, 15:44 authored by Roger J. Mortimer, David WorrallProject provides links to GCSE science and A-level chemistry specifications. Grätzel cells - TiO2 coated with light-sensitive dye molecules, immersed in organic
electrolyte - mimic photosynthesis.
Chemists from the Universities of Loughborough and Bristol have teamed up to take a researchbased
project into local schools. The project, which involves using Grätzel solar cells to convert
sunlight into electricity, gives students the opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge, green
chemistry research.
