A dye-sensitized solar cell was assembled by adsorbing dye onto TiO2 porous film, deposited on TCO glass. Photovoltage of DSSC under chopped light was studied and compared to a standard silicon cell. It was observed that DSSC has a slower response to pulsed irradiation than crystalline silicon cells. The influence of hydrochloric acid as electrolyte additive on the response time and cell performance was investigated. It was found that, by adding HCl in the electrolyte, the cell efficiency is maintained and the response time decreases significantly. If HCl exceeds a limit value, response time becomes better, but efficiency decreases strongly..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
