Laboratoire
de Photonique et Interfaces (Grätzel's group)
Affiliation : Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne
Research Activities :
Properties of colloidal aggregates and
particulate suspensions. Photochemistry and photophysics of
nano-structured molecular solids. Development of specific
biosensors. Colloid chemistry and preparation of thin films.
Nanocrystalline solar cells and photoelectrochemistry.
The Titania solar cell was invented at EPFL by
Professor Michael Grätzel. Two excellent brochures available online
describe the work principle of those devices: Nanocrystalline
Electrochromic Devices and Dye
Sensitized Solar Cells based on nanocrystalline films
