Biography
Michael Graetzel discovered molecular photovoltaics, pioneering mesoscopic photosystems that efficiently convert light to electricity. His research led to a new generation of solar cells, including the dye-sensitized solar cell (Graetzel cell), which offers unique advantages like flexibility and low manufacturing cost. He also played a pivotal role in the development of perovskite solar cells and applied his design concepts to enhance lithium-ion batteries and create photoelectrochemical cells for chemical fuel generation from sunlight.
