MY Forum 2010: Fabricate your own Grätzel cell

[Jacknotzak]

I have a bunch of questions:

Will it work with Povodone-iodine or Potassium triiodide dissolved in water, assuming that the cell is not going to be used for more than a day?

Can we substitute a sheet of metal for the conductive glass which is to be covered platinized, with the same assumption?

And lastly, can the glass be cleaned and reused to make another solar cell?

Thank you!

Very simple, clear and effective! But is this the original procedure invented by M. Grätzel? Because I attended an experiment about the Grätzel cell, and we built it in a slightly different way.. If you would like to check it, I described it in my video "Cella di Grätzel - Giacomo Sartor - PLS 2010/11 " .. What do you think?

simple but amazing, but how did you such clean cut small holes?

@dl4breeze: the holes are made with a small drill. Glad you enjoyed the video!
