The project aims to study, assess and quantify the technical and commercial feasibility of a newly developed Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) technology based on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of nanostructured TiO2. The ALD-enabled TiO2 DSC technology reduces Titanium material use by x300 and achieves a record efficiency of 13.4%. This can potentially reduce the cost of solar cells to 30% of today's commercially available products, enabling far greater applications to benefit from the solar energy. During the project, a prototype 35cm x 35cm ALD-DSC module will be built and tested and the manufacturing processes for high-volume production will be assessed. In addition, the economics of the technology with respect to its cost and efficiency will be quantified for high-volume applications including consumer electronics and transparent glass windows.

该项目旨在研究，评估和量化新开发的基于纳米结构TiO 2原子层沉积（ALD）的染料敏化太阳能电池（DSC）技术的技术和商业可行性。ALD功能的TiO 2 DSC技术将钛材料的使用减少了300倍，并实现了13.4%的创纪录效率。这可能会将太阳能电池的成本降低到目前市售产品的30%，从而使更多的应用受益于太阳能。在项目期间，将建造和测试一个35 cm x 35 cm的ALD-DSC模块原型，并评估大批量生产的制造工艺。此外，该技术在成本和效率方面的经济性将被量化，用于大批量应用，包括消费电子产品和透明玻璃窗。
