Understanding the production of a Dye Sensitized Solar Cell may seem seem far from a walk in the park for many people. Every description throws out seemingly cryptic technical names of components, such as a 'photoelectrode composed of a transparent conducting oxide', or various processes, such as utilizing a firing furnace, that will not make sense to or may not be available to anyone that is not an engineer. This may, in turn, intimidate people from learning more about this innovative invention.
So how can one learn more about these cells in layman's terms? By creating one at home! The video below teaches people how to make a Dye Sensitized Solar Cell at home using readily available parts.
Now that you have seen how to make a cell, it will be easier to understand its components and production. So instead of looking confused the next time you hear someone use the phrase 'photoelectrode composed of a transparent conducting oxide', you will be able to smile back and know exactly what part they are referring to!
