Electricity from sunlight could be possible using a robust, low-cost solar cell that uses dyes anchored on inexpensive titanium oxide, rather than highly pure and thus expensive bulk materials. Before commercial applications of these dye-sensitized solar cells are possible, efficiency and stability issues must be resolved.
