This document, created by Pennsylvania State University and hosted by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network, serves as a guide for a laboratory activity where students "fabricate a photoelectrochemical cell, measure the UV-vis absorption spectra of the dyes used to construct the device, and determine the current-voltage and power output characteristics the completed dye-sensitized solar cell." The lab guide includes objectives, an introduction to the characterization of photovoltaic devices, step-by-step directions to the lab activity itself, a student worksheet for data collection and analysis, and post-lab questions to test student comprehension. The lab is designed to work with the University of Wisconsin MRSEC's 'Titanium Dioxide Raspberry Solar Cell' lab.
