The traditional transparent electrode in dye-sensitized cells has been indium tin oxide ITO (or related FTO fluorine tin oxide), on which the anatase layer is deposited, followed by the dye. Graphene transparent electrodes (chemically exfoliated) were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells by Wang et al. (2008) and by Eda et al. (2008).
The electrode is fixed on the moving stage of a linear guide actuator that makes the plate translate along the top surface of the solar panel. Lead screw rotation is controlled by a NEMA 23 stepper motor. To control the stepper motor, we make use of an “Adafruit Metro M0 Express” microcontroller coupled with a DRV8833 stepper motor driver.
