Build a Solar Panel with TIO2 for Your Science Fair Project

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a solar panel using TiO2 dye-sensitized solar cells for a science fair project. A resource was shared that provides detailed instructions on making solar cells with TiO2. There is interest in developing a spray-coating technique that could facilitate the creation of silicon solar cells in a clean-room setting. Additionally, there is a concept proposed to apply this technology to an electric scooter, aiming for a self-sustaining power source. The overall goal is to enhance the efficiency and practicality of solar energy applications.

I am interested in making solar panel with TIO2 dye-sensitized solar cells for science fair.
Can anyone help me?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Google HOW TO MAKE SOLAR CELLS .

I found, for example:
http://voh.chem.ucla.edu/classes/Solar_cells/pdf/Student_Solar.pdf

which appears to cover exactly what you want with TI02...
 
It'd be neat to create a spray-coating that instantly grows epitaxial SiO2 layers as you spray it on a conductor in a clean-room environment, lending to "spray-on" silicon solar cells.
I'd like to do something like this for an electric-powered scooter (around 250-350W electric motor and a 32Vdc LION battery). Just make the scooter and spray the stuff on as if a spraypaint or something.
I can drive around all day without recharging the darn thing! :) :) :)
 

Thread 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
