Michael Grätzel

Michael Grätzel is a scientist known for developing a type of solar cell called the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). These solar cells convert sunlight into electricity using a special dye that absorbs light and generates electrical charges. They are inexpensive, easy to produce, and can be made flexible, making them promising for sustainable energy applications. Grätzel's work has advanced renewable energy technology by providing an alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels, and his innovations continue to influence the development of more affordable and versatile solar power solutions.
