The Department of Physics at the College of Science, University of Kerbala, organized a training course entitled “Fabrication and Testing of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.” The course aimed to highlight the most important modern laboratory methods used in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and the key tests employed to evaluate their performance.
Among the primary methods discussed were physical and chemical vapor deposition, spin coating, and screen printing. The course covered various applications of DSSCs, such as external uses like colorful electricity-generating windows in architectural buildings, and indoor uses such as converting artificial light into electricity for electronics, solar cells, and sensor devices.
The course provided a comprehensive understanding—from the basics to advanced applications—of dye-sensitized solar cell fabrication, making it suitable for researchers, students, and those interested in solid-state physics.
The course concluded by emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate fabrication technique, cost-effective materials, and suitable equipment for characterization and measurement, in line with the desired properties for different applications.
