All dye solar materials made by Australian company Dyesol are being made available via a global distribution agreement with Sigma-Aldrich.
The accord was announced on 14 August. It will focus on selling dye solar cell (DSC) and solid-state dye solar cell (ssDSC) materials to other developers across the world. Under an existing agreement Sigma-Aldrich already sells the Canberra-based firm's range of organo-metal dyes. This will now be extended to Dyesol's full product range, which includes other dyes, titanium pastes electrolytes, materials and Dyesol's range of silver inks - which can be also be used to print electronic components.
Luca Sorbello, Dyesol's sales and marketing manager, says: 'Our alliance provides scientists around the world with easy and dependable access to Dyesol's extensive line of dye solar cell materials.
'This agreement opens market opportunities for high performance Dyesol products and provides Dyesol greater exposure to an established user community that has experienced the benefits of the quality provided by Sigma-Aldrich. In addition, Sigma-Aldrich will expand its product selection aimed at the rapidly growing DSC and ssDSC materials market. It is my belief that this agreement will ultimately benefit the scientific community.'
In May 2014, Dyesol demonstrated the potential of dye sol photovoltaics when they produced a cell with a then record efficiency of 9%.
