Dyesol’s DYAG50 Conductive Silver Printing Ink is a specially

formulated ink which provides exceptionally high conductivity
at low cure temperatures. This highly conductive ink provides
extremely low resistance of printed conducting tracks
essential for the photovoltaic industry and is a key enabler in
plastic electronics such as DSSC, OPV, and CdTe solar cells
etc., by providing lowest track resistances of printed current
collectors.
DYAG50 Conductive Silver Printing Ink is comprised of a

mixture of pure silver particles and organometallic silver
compound in an organic medium. When printed on polyester
(PET or PEN) films and then cured at 160-180°C, the particles
consolidate to form a ”chemically welded” continuous silver
track to yield exceptionally low bulk resistivity.

Automated Hole-Drilling Machine

Use
Use Dyesol’s Automated Hole-Drilling Machine to create electrolyte fill holes in your glass
DSC substrate.
Description & Benefits

The Automated Hole Drilling Machine uses a fast, dry process which avoids use of water
and avoids constant replacement of high-cost drill-bits. It offers a highly controllable setup
optimised for DSC and uses inexpensive grit material for low-cost operation.
The Automated Hole Drilling Machine is used for creating electrolyte fill holes in glass
substrates during the initial stage of glass electrode preparation. Accurate holes are
produced by application of fine, high-pressure blasting media onto the substrate.
Consider A high efficiency vacuum filtration system is incorporated to collect airborne dust from the
blasting chamber of the system. The output from this mechanism can be vented into the
• Dyesol pre-printed TEC8 & operating room. Larger blasting debris falls to the base of the machine and is collected in
TEC15 Glass Plates a sump.
• Dyesol DSC Laboratory Solution
A clear window allows the user to view the progress of the blasting operation. This high
quality, durable machine reduces incidence of stress and cracks that can appear on glass
substrate later in DSC production and is the most suitable method for hole-drilling DSC
substrates.

Screen Printer
Use
Use one of Dyesol’s 3 Screen Printers (compact, medium or large) to apply the wide range
of screen printable DSC materials onto your DSC glass substrate in a precise, controllable
manner.

The Screen Printer is typically used for the application of an electrical conductor to form
a busbar, a catalyst paste to form the counter electrode and a semiconductor paste to
form the working electrode. The flexible nature of this piece of equipment allows users
to experiment with the application of other cell components such as electrolytes and
sealants.
Controllable squeegee speed and controllable pressure allow for precise and repeatable
prints for both small and large production runs. Operation is semi-automatic or manual.
The chemically inert flood blade ensures no contamination of your Dye Solar Cells.
These screen printers are the best choice for DSC research because they are optimised

Test Cell Assembly Machine

Use
Use Dyesol’s custom designed Test Cell Assembly Machine to quickly and easily
assemble multiple DSC test cells.

Dyesol’s Test Cell Assembly Machine (TCAM) provides the user with a rapid, reliable and
repeatable method for the assembly and permanent sealing of DSC test cells.
The TCAM applies flat, equal pressure across the cell for even sealing. A combination of
light mechanical pressure and resistive heating is used in sealing. An electrical current
is passed through the conductive layer on the glass substrate of the counter electrode to
melt a thermoplastic gasket between the counter and working electrodes.
The temperature which the counter electrode reaches can be controlled by adjusting the
voltage which controls the current allowed to flow through the conductive layer. This is
important because excessive temperatures will damage dyes. The mechanical pressure

IPCE Measurement Apparatus

Use
Use Dyesol’s Incident Photon-to-Current Efficiency (IPCE) Measurement Apparatus to
ascertain device spectral response to incident light of different wavelengths.

Dyesol’s proprietary IPCE Measurement Apparatus is an indispensable tool for
DSC research and performance measurement and is highly complementary to IV
characterisation.
It shows the spectral response of the device to incident light with different wavelengths,
ranging from UV to the Infrared region and provides insights into the operation of the
device. The equipment assists with the design of new and efficient dyes in DSC research,
rendering an understanding of the correlation between the chemical modification of the
sensitiser and the resulted change in the absorption spectrum to enable a better match to
the solar spectrum.
It is also of particular interest to researchers investigating new photoanodes and

electrolytes, since any interaction between the photoanode, the sensitiser and the
electrolyte would manifest itself as a spectral shift of a change in the IPCE spectrum but
might not be reflected in the photovoltaic parameters.

Electrochemical Impedance Instrument

Use
Use Dyesol’s Electrochemical Impedance Instrument to measure the impedance
characteristics of your dye solar cells or modules.

Dyesol’s Electrochemical Impedance Instrument is a state-of-the-art tool that will help you
with quality control and enable you to characterise resistive, recombination, electron transport
and diffusional power losses, ageing mechanisms for cells or modules, counter electrode
performance, corrosion processes and even seal quality.
Also known as AC Impedance Spectroscopy, the technique involves the application of

AC voltage signals over a wide frequency spectrum at present DC bias voltage while
analysing the current amplitude and phase shift. Alternatively, the instrument can be used
in galvanostatic mode, i.e. modulating the current while monitoring the voltage. In addition,
the equipment can be used for a range of electrochemical techniques, such as potentiometry,
cyclic voltammetry, etc. for determining redox potentials, elucidating electrochemical reaction
mechanisms, determining concentrations, kinetic rate and diffusion constants, etc.
Purchase of Dyesol’s Electrochemical Impedance Instrument includes tooling, techniques

and technical assistance to set up a robust Electrochemical Impedance and general
electrochemistry operating system. The output is ± 1A at ±12V with ±20V compliance voltage.
The system is an excellent compromise between current capability up to 1A for measuring
devices under illumination and very low current sensitivity, e.g. for measuring impedance of
high quality coatings, such as for corrosion protection.
The instrument has 9 current ranges and post gain offset capability which allow for a
maximum resolution of 3.3fA. 16-bit D/A and A/D converters provide accurate results down to
1µV resolution.
On-board electronics allow EIS scans from 10µHz to 1MHz without the need for an external
FRA or lock-in amplifier. Extensive voltage and current channel filtering provides low noise
levels of <20µVrms.
