Electricity Generation Schematics

Initially, sunlight passes through the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer into the dye-sensitized layer causing the electrons within the molecules to excite. The electrons rapidly get injected into the TiO2 particles, which act as a semiconductor, transporting light induced electrons toward the negative terminal. The negative terminal layer, or, the TCO layer, is where all the electrons are collected. Then, the electrons get further transported toward the external circuit, generating electricity. Afterwards, the electrons get reintroduced into the solar cell through the positive terminal into the electrolyte. From here, The electrolyte transports the electrons back into the dye molecules, where the process is repeated. Make sure to Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/torreyhillstechnologies
