Merck KGaA and Dyesol Ltd. have signed an agreement to collaborate in the development of electrolytes for use in dye solar cells (DSC).
This joint development agreement is the precursor to potential future commercial arrangements with Merck to manufacture existing and next-generation electrolytes for DSC applications, such as PV solar, according to the companies.
The first phase of the collaboration involves the development of new electrolytes, optimization of electrolytes for high performance, refinement of material specifications to assure ultra-long life and scaling up for volume manufacture.
