iGEM Grätzel cell
In order to build a DSC with our produced anthocyanidines we designed a mounting structure that allows to assemble the cell with a few simple steps. The mounting structur was designed modularly so that several cells can be assembled next to each other and can be connected. We printed the mounting structure with a 3Dator printer using polylactide PLA as printing material.
We designed the 3D-model of the mounting structure with the CAD software sketchup. The model-file can be adjusted in size in order to use larger glass plates. The skp-file of the model can be downloaded via the link below.

2. step
Apply 200 µl of dye-solution on the glass plate and let it dry for at least 10 minutes.
3. step
5. step
In order to check if your DSC is working connect a voltmeter to the wires and measure the voltage and current that your cell generates under different light conditions.
