Following nature's example, this approach has the goal to find a \u003cb\u003ebiomimetic self-assembling dye\u003c\/b\u003e, whose aggregates can mimic the natural light-harvesting system of special photosynthetic active bacteria. The thesis investigates methods to control the self-assembly such that suitable dye aggregates are formed with high internal order and size-confinement. The dye aggregates can be implemented into a new type of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003esolar cells\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, designed to combine the advantages of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ehybrid solar cells\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003esolid-state dye-sensitized solar cells\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (ss-DSSCs): \u003cb\u003edye aggregate solar cells (DASCs)\u003c\/b\u003e. This book describes the construction and first tests of a prototype for DASCs on the basis of the investigated dye aggregates. The described approach has the advantage that it will enable to build up a light-harvesting system fully synthetically in large scale in order to realize low-cost, light-weight and environmentally friendly solar cells - a worthwhile goal towards the exploitation of clean energy from sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-09-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319006352\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-00636-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 163\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393257652364,"sku":"9783319006352","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319006352.jpg?v=1775768126","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319006352","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
