A small-sized DSSC panel based on the Uruguayan national flower dye tested at the Antarctic Artigas Base
The construction of a small-sized panel based on anthocyanins from Erythrina crista-galli as sensitizers is reported in this work. The device, named KD12, was placed indoors at the Artigas Antarctic Scientific Base from March 2019 to December 2020. Here is released for the first time, the indoor ins...
