This project seeks to develop a new technology which allows solar cells to harvest a broader range of light from the sun, including red and infrared light, to increase solar-to-electric conversion efficiency. It is proposed that this would be accomplished through a series of chemical reactions which allow electrical power to be generated either by conventional means or a multi-step process in which low energy light is ‘glued’ together. This is of interest in relation to emerging technologies such as dye-sensitised solar cells, which are low cost, architecturally appealing and amenable to flexible substrates. It is anticipated that this project will provide a means for substantial improvement in solar cell efficiencies.

该项目旨在开发一种新技术，使太阳能电池能够从太阳收集更广泛的光，包括红光和红外光，以提高太阳能到电能的转换效率。有人提出，这将通过一系列化学反应来实现，这些化学反应允许通过常规手段或多步骤过程来产生电力，在该多步骤过程中，低能量光被“胶合”在一起。这对于诸如染料敏化太阳能电池的新兴技术是有意义的，染料敏化太阳能电池成本低、结构上吸引人并且适合于柔性基板。预计这一项目将为大幅度提高太阳能电池效率提供一种手段。
