Stod 60% för Grätzel-celler bara så man kan väl misstänka att det var sämre resultat för kisel.
Blir i alla fall inte dyrare pga guldet utan billigare pga att man kan göra det absorberande lagret tunnare.
Läste på lite om Grätzel cellen:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sensitized_solar_cells
Mycket billigare än kisel-cellen, dock inte lika effektiv. Denna del är intressant:
Citat:
Combined with a fill factor of about 70%, overall peak power production for current DSSc's represents a conversion efficiency of about 11%, whereas (as noted earlier) common low-cost commercial panels operate between 12% and 15%. Flexible thin-film cells are typically around 8%. This makes DSSc's extremely attractive as a replacement for existing technologies in "low density" applications like rooftop solar collectors. They may not be as attractive for large-scale deployments where higher-cost higher-efficiency cells are more viable, but even small increases in the DSSc conversion efficiency might make them suitable for some of these roles as well.
Tunnfilm: 8%
Grätzel: 11%
Kisel: 12-15% (24% labb)

So in spite of the slightly lower efficiency, DSSc's represent a major advance in solar cell technology. They offer efficiency close to that of the very best low-cost devices, but are far easier and less expensive to produce. Even small improvements in the efficiency of the electrolyte or dye would essentially eliminate silicon as a competitive approach to solar power generation. Their closest competitor in price-performance terms are the various thin-film approaches, which are currently somewhat more developed commercially.
60% kan nog räknas som en rätt stor ökning
. Skulle väl bli 17.6%.
I så fall kan detta vara ett stort genombrott för solcellen.
