Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC)

Welcome to the comprehensive online resource for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) Data Center !!

This is a comprehensive portal site dedicated to all aspects of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Research and Development. You can access any of the following key components from any page using the pointers at the top header of the page and topic listings in the left side column.

Here is a brief outline of of these key sections:

1. Bibliography We have built a comprehensive bibliographic database containing more than 1500 research publications covering dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC). You can search easily by author, title of the paper (even in parts), journal, year etc using the online search interface. Soon we will provide search by keywords as well.

2. Patents: There is a comprehensive Patents database where we list all international patents (& patent applications) filed in USA, Europe and Japan in the area of dye-sensitized solar cells. Research in DSSC has matured to reach Product R&D state that large number of patents are being filed every year on DSSC (>100 in Japan alone per year).

3. Vendors This is a comprehensive listing of vendors who sell different components of dye solar cell for research and also assembled cells, modules and panels for testing, use as reference sources.

4. Forum This is the community discussion place where all scientists engaged in dye solar cells can interact and have technical and general exchanges on various aspects of dye solar cell research and development. It is YOUR FORUM and hence your participation, support is essential for its usage to the dye solar cell community.

5. Press CornerHere we will try to bring to attention various exciting developments in the dye solar cell field, as reported in the Press.

6. DirectoryThis is a comprehensive directory listing of various academic and industrial laboratories directly involved in Dye Solar Cell research and development.

7. Gallery This is a small showpiece/display corner where we will display different versions of dye solar cells being developed and tested in laboratories. Again this is your corner and you are welcome to contribute your photos.

As you can see, we have put together various components for this site to become a single comprehensive reference center. Obviously its growth and success depends on your continued support and participation. Feel free to visit the pages of this dedicated site for our favourite Dye Solar Cells and pass on your comments to me (kalyan.geo AT yahoo.com ) for further improvement.
