INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SOLAR PROFESSIONALS
Nickel oxide is a p-type semiconductor that can be used to prepare photo-cathodes. Dye-sensitized photo-cathodes operate in a reverse mode compared with conventional Dye Solar Cells. The electron cascade occurs from the excited dye to the oxidized species of the electrolyte, and from the p-type semiconductor valence band to the ground level of the sensitizer.
Together with n-type semiconductor pastes like our Ti‑Nanoxide products, it is possible to fabricate tandem p/n-type Dye Solar Cells with efficiencies equal or superior to conventional n-type DSCs.
The first commercially available nickel oxide nano-particle paste to facilitate the development of highly efficient p-type Dye Solar Cells. Ni‑Nanoxide N/SP is suited for the deposition of NiO layers by screen-printing or slot-coating (doctor-blade). After firing at 300°C, the paste forms a mesoporous layer of NiO with a semi-transparent grey appearance.
The best products deserve the right tools. We also offer our customers a selection of spatulas, tweezers, staining boxes, and similar items especially adapted to our products.
