The technology is based on research from the University of Oxford. By combining earlier research on artificial photosynthetic electrochemical solar cells and semiconducting plastics, Oxford PV says it can now create manufacturable solid-state dye sensitised solar cells.
Dr Henry Snaith, of Oxford University’s Department of Physics, who developed the technology, says: “One of the great advantages is that we can process it over large areas very easily. You don’t have to worry about extensive sealing and encapsulation, which is an issue for the electrolyte dye cell.”
