Zirconium Dioxide Pastes | Solaronix Catalog
Zirconium and Nickel Oxide Pastes

Zirconium Dioxide Paste
Zr- Nanoxide product, zirconium dioxide paste suited for preparing porous insulating layers in monolithic Dye Solar Cells. Monolithic DSC assemblies are obtained by the stacking of titania (anode), zirconia (insulation) and conductive carbon (cathode) layers on a single substrate. Our screen-printable products Ti-Nanoxide (p.!18), Zr-Nanoxide and Elcocarb (p. 40) respectively are a perfect combination for the preparation of advanced monolithic DSCs.
Nickel Oxide Paste

Ni- Nanoxide product, designed for preparing mesoporous nickel oxide photo-cathodes (p-type semiconductor). Dye-sensitized photo-cathodes operate in a reverse mode compared with conventional DSCs. 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. Solaronix is introducing Ni-Nanoxide!N/SP, the first commercially available nickel oxide paste to facilitate the development of highly efficient p-type DSCs. Together with n-type semiconductor pastes like our Ti-Nanoxide products, it is possible to fabricate tandem p/n-type DSCs with efficiencies equal to or superior to conventional n-type DSCs.

The Platisol products are a set of chemical precursors for the deposition of catalytic platinum layers. In Dye Solar Cells, the counter-electrode typically features such a discrete layer of platinum, which enhances the kinetics of the cell. Our products demonstrate excellent catalytic activity while preserving transparency. It is the perfect companion material for our iodide-based electrolytes (p. 29). We have dierent Platisol formulations, either a low viscosity paint for spin coating or brush application, or a higher viscosity paste for screen-printing or doctorblade application. In both cases, the products lead to a quasi-transparent activated layer of platinum after ring at 450C.

Carbon Pastes
With the Elcocarb product line Solaronix is the rst to release a carbon paste to the Dye Solar Cell community. The Elcocarb pastes are novel and innovative products that suits perfectly the manufacturing of highly conductive carbon counter-electrodes. These carbon pastes can be screen-printed and have no swelling behavior. Their adhesion is excellent on multiple substrates. It is even possible to stack several prints to achieve the desired electrode thickness and resistivity. Firing at 450C leads to a highly conductive, hydrophobic and non-metallic layer that remains porous. The chemical inertness of this layer allows a broad range of material compatibility with no risk of corrosion.

Solaronix Catalog | Sealing Materials
Sealing Materials
Solaronix has assembled a selection of polymers that are very well adapted to sealing of Dye Solar Cell electrodes. These materials demonstrate excellent chemical compatibility with the other components of Dye Solar Cells. Our Meltonix products are a range of hotmelt sealing lms cast from these remarkable polymer materials. Sealing gaskets, easily cut from these lms, will ensure a perfect connement of the electrolyte in the solar cells after the heat sealing process. We have been using Meltonix materials for over 10 years, proving their stability and durability. Thicknesses of 25, 60 and 100 microns are available in order to tune the distance between electrodes. The Meltonix sealing lms come with an optional protection foil on one side, allowing an easier sealing process in two steps instead of one. The sealing process typically consists of partially melting the gasket onto the electrodes with a hot press. The adhesion on glass substrates is excellent, and leads to a clear transparent sealing. Our cutting service can provide custom gasket shapes, feel free to inquire.

Simple or Elaborate
The simplest way for making a demonstration cell consists of dying the titania anode with a natural dye. The cathode can be prepared from a conductive glass and a pencil (carbon source). These electrodes are then put together using binder clips, leading to an open-air cell. The Demonstration Cell Kit Basic includes these electrodes in one package. Alternatively, the demonstration cell can be assembled in a sealed conguration for durability. Use the gasket to seal the electrodes together, while electrolyte is added through holes in the cathode. The Advanced variant of the Demonstration Kit includes all the required parts. In this conguration, we recommend using a ruthenium dye, such as Ruthenizer!535-bisTBA for the sensitization of the titania electrode, and a robust iodide electrolyte like Iodolyte!Z-50.

Feeling ready to make your own Dye Solar Cells? Solaronix oers a free tutorial to help you get started: This tutorial was inspired by requests from Dye Solar!Cell enthusiasts looking for a place to start. Some of them were scientist starting to investigate the technology, while others were professors who wanted to teach the assembly in training courses. Should you be in such a situation or not, we hope you will nd this tutorial to be useful, helping you to successfully make your own Dye!Solar!Cells! There are many ways of making a Dye!Solar!Cell, with many combinations of materials and designs. For instance, some people may make cells open to the air, while others may choose to deposit the titania on their own. Some may prefer natural dyes instead of ruthenium dyes, and carbon cathodes instead of platinum cathodes, to make inexpensive solar cells for school activities. This document attempts to cover all possible situations. Therefore, several methods are described for obtaining the same part of a solar cell. The cathode, for example, can be made from platinum or carbon. In such a case only one method needs to be employed, depending on materials and equipment available. Readers are thus invited to pick and choose the sections relevant to the type of assembly they desire. This guide was compiled from comments and suggestions from our customers. Please feel free to send us your comments and suggestions, so that we can continue to improve this tutorial. The operation of a Dye Solar Cell is magical. Fortunately, making them requires no magic, just the right tools, materials, and techniques that we are happy to share with you here. Good luck making your own Dye Solar Cells!

Solar Testing Equipment

Solaronix proposes two product ranges featuring our original Lumixo light engine: The Sunirad light soakers, and the Solixon large area solar simulators. The two product lines benet from the same exceptional characteristics of the Lumixo light engine. The Solixon equipment from Solaronix generates a perfectly true sun-like illumination, up to Class!A rating over large areas. This unmatched behavior enables accurate solar simulation independent of the type of photovoltaic material. It is thus very well suited for the characterization of today's Solar Cells absorbing over of a broad range of wavelengths, such as tandem and multijunctions cells. The Sunirad equipment features an emitter that is spectrally matched to the type of solar cells under test. The product range is comprised of Class!A, Class!B, and Class!C machines. The spectral emission of the Class-C unit is especially suited for the light soaking of a-Si solar cells and Dye!Solar!Cells, which ensures minimal power consumption. The Class!A and Class!B units are suited for the light soaking of crystalline silicon solar cells, and for the aging of compound semiconductor based thin lm solar cells. Find out more about the exceptional qualities of Solaronix' Lumixo light engine in the following pages , and discover the Sunirad and Solixon machines that exploit this technology.

Lumixo, the Heart of Our Solar Testing Equipment

The need for a reliable and accurate light source for solar simulation and solar cell testing emerged during the early days of Solaronix. At the time, available light sources appeared to be unstable over time and led to biased photovoltaic measurements. With the same credo of autonomy and technological leadership, Solaronix developed a specic type of light source to overcome such limitations, the Lumixo light engine. This genuine light source perfectly mimics sunlight and presents an outstanding light stability over a long period of time. The unmatched features of the Lumixo light engine allow Solaronix to supply today's photovoltaic industry with accurate and dependable testing equipment. In common discharge lamps, the light is emitted as an electrical arc between two electrodes. The extreme temperature of the discharge causes electrode breakdown after a few hundred hours of operation. Alternatively, plasma lamps belong to a class of electrode-less light sources energized by radio frequency power. In the Lumixo light engine, a magnetron generates the power necessary to excite a plasma in a
sealed electrode-less bulb. The bulb's lifetime itself is virtually innite, allowing for the Lumixo's outstanding lifetime of 20 000 hours. The end-of-life time is actually dictated by the rotating parts (fans, motors) and the magnetron, parts that can be easily replaced. Existing Solaronix solar simulators have over 43 000 hours of operation! Proper documentation and remote assistance is provided to make trouble free Lumixo light engines service directly on-site by the customer's team.
Key Features
" outstanding lifetime of the light emitter >!20 000!h, unprecedented for a 1!kW light source " continuous illumination, especially well suited for monitoring thin lm and other 3rd generation solar cells " temporal light stability allowing an excellent measurement reproducibility over a long period of time " smooth and continuous light spectrum with a sun-like wavelength distribution " several spectra available, from the energy-saving Class C (140 lumen max. per Watt) to the high-end Class A " beautifully simple design, no lter needed, no obscuration " adjustable illumination (30%-110%) to operate at partial sun equivalents " no safety concerns: does not contain mercury, low pressure " reduced cost of ownership and streamlined maintenance

Sunirad and Solixon Solar simulators
Sunirad, our light soakers product line

The Sunirad equipment features Lumixo light engines with an emitter that is spectrally matched to the type of solar cells under test. The spectral emission of the Class-C unit is especially suited for the light soaking of a-Si solar cells and Dye!Solar!Cells, while oering minimal power consumption. The Class!A and Class!B units are suited for light-soaking of crystalline silicon solar cells, and for the aging of compound semiconductor based thin lm solar cells. The light soaking machines are built to be running continuously, allowing for long term tests lasting several months. " Active thermal sample management for temperature accuracy " Optimized power consumption and low residual heat " Light soakers available with superior spectrum quality
Solaronix oers solar testing equipment based on a reliable design with over 12 years of development. The Sunirad product line is intended for light-soaking, with thermal control of your sample at 50C. The Solixon units benet from the same steady-state reliability while oering room temperature testing (25C) and high-end Class!A spectrum for sample characterization. The two product lines benet from the same exceptional characteristics of the Lumixo light engine described in the previous pages.
Sunirad C-65 (for a-Si)

Sunirad C-65 is the low-cost equipment dedicated to the light soaking of amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cells, or other solar cells having a similar spectral response. This machine features a yellow shifted Class!C spectrum, specically optimized for a-Si testing, using one Lumixo light engine and additional halogen bulbs.
Solixon, exclusive continuous solar simulators

The Solixon equipment from Solaronix generates a perfectly true sun-like illumination, up to Class!A rating over large areas. This unmatched behavior enables accurate solar simulation independent of the type of photovoltaic material. It is thus very well suited for the characterization of today's Solar Cells absorbing over of a broad range of wavelengths, such as tandem and multi-junctions cells. The unique features of the Lumixo light engine aord: " High delity Class!A spectrum " Power adjustable to simulate partial sun illuminations from 30% to 110% sun " Possibility to combine light soaking and solar simulation functionalities with the same equipment
Thanks to an excellent overlap of the Lumixo light emitter and the a-Si spectral response, an irradiance of 800!W/m2 is enough to obtain nominal short-circuit current on a-Si cells. The additional halogen bulbs don't contribute signicantly to the current generation of the a-Si cells, and are simply needed to be compliant with IEC 60904-9 Class!C spectrum.
