Platform-ZERO is thrilled to release its latest publication in Solar RRL! This article examines how dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) perform under different light conditions, particularly low indoor light. It finds that electron collection efficiency drops indoors due to complex electron trapping in the photoanode. Factors like the TiO2 layer quality and electrolyte composition impact this …
Platform-Zero is thrilled to have contributed part of its researches in the 8th Volume of Small Methods. This work introduces a methodology for using combinatorial analysis (CA) and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate the development of thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) technologies, covering steps from sample synthesis to AI-assisted data analysis and research acceleration. Illustrated with …
