10-16-2009: Merck KGaA and
Dyesol Limited have signed an agreement to collaborate in the development of
electrolytes for use in Dye Solar Cells (DSC). This joint development agreement is the
precursor to potential future commercial arrangements with Merck to manufacture
existing and next generation electrolytes for DSC applications like photovoltaic
renewable energy sources.
Merck has patented intellectual
property and vast know-how in the field of ionic liquids. Dyesol, located in Queanbeyan
in New South Wales (Australia), is developer of DSC materials and
solutions, having a broad portfolio covering DSC materials, product designs and
manufacturing equipments.
The first phase of the collaboration involves the development of new electrolytes,
optimization of electrolytes for high performance, refinement of material specifications
to assure ultra long life, and scale up for volume manufacture. Dyesol will contribute the
results of the past 12 years of testing on over 400 different proprietary electrolytes that
has resulted in DSC with proven stability of well over 25 years in European conditions.
"Photovoltaic renewable energy sources are showing increasing potential worldwide.
The cooperation with Dyesol, the world leader in the Dye Solar Cell sector, offers us
the opportunity to leverage valuable potential in this attractive market," says Dr. Emil
Aust, Senior Manager of Ionic Liquids at Merck KGaA. "When used as the main
components of DSC electrolytes, Merck's task-specific Ionic Liquids, make it possible to
use both solid and flexible DSCs, thus enabling outstanding new applications in the
future."
