DSC (DSSC) Experiments and Studies

Definition
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) or Grätzel cells are cheap and simple to manufacture solar cells. Basically, DSC cells imitate the natural photosynthesis process by separating light harvesting from charge carrier transport in contrast to other semiconductor-based solar cells.
