LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 21, 2013 — Swiss chemist Michael Graetzel, noted for his discovery of a dye-sensitized solar cell that is easier and less costly to produce than silicon-based cells, has won the inaugural $50,000 Leigh Ann Conn Prize for Renewable Energy from the University of Louisville. Graetzel, professor and director of the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, is recognized for merging nanoscience with photoconversion by developing a dye-sensitized solar cell now known as the Graetzel cell. His cells convert sunlight into electricity using Earth-abundant...Read full article
