Recent progress in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) research and development, which use innovative light-harvesting dye (the "sensitizer") to improve the optical absorption coefficient of the stained nanostructured electrodes, might color our dimming future energy security with a tint of rose, despite the looming depletion of fossil fuels. Costing only 10~20% as its silicon counterparts, the new devices might make it affordable for much more people to utilize solar energy, a handy renewable energy source.
Today, Applied Materials held a groundbreaking for an expansion project of its Tainan Manufacturing Center. This expansion, with a total investment estimated at around US$17 million, will increase the company's ability to meet the demand for both its AKT flat panel display equipment and SunFabTM Thin Film Solar manufacturing equipment. The new facility is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.
