1. Celdas Solares con Tintes Fotosensibles (Dye-Sensetized Solar Cells)

   16 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Frank Fernandes, Rodfal Alberto Rodriguez (editor), María Teresa Rivera (editor)

   Este módulo trabaja con la fabricación de una celda solar con tinte fotosensible (“DSC”, por sus siglas en inglés). Una “DSC” es, esencialmente, una celda foto-electroquímica; significa que una reacción química foto-inducida...

2. Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

   06 Feb 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Frank Fernandes, University of Wisconsin MRSEC

   In this module, you will construct a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). This device is essentially a photo-electrochemical cell, which means that a photo-induced chemical reaction causes electrons to travel from one material to another. DSC’s consist of a nanostructured semiconductor film...

3. Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency: Comparing Input Power to Output Power of a Silicon Photovoltaic Cell

   28 Oct 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Oskar Cymerman, NNCI Nano

   This lesson is designed to help students find a measure of a solar cell’s power conversion efficiency, by studying output power (Pout) of a silicon PV cell and comparing it to the input power (Pin) of incandescent light bulbs illuminating the PV from a set distance. In this activity,...

4. ADEPT 2.0 First-Time User Guide

   03 Mar 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Xufeng Wang

   This first-time user guide provides a basic walk-through on how to run the ADEPT simulation tool.
