Dyesol signs €600,000 DSC development contract with Acrosol, Korea

Dyesol Ltd. has agreed to provide a turnkey R&D laboratory and comprehensive training in Dye Solar Cell (DSC) development with Korea-based Acrosol, a Korean University spin-out company. The €600,000 agreement will see the companies collaborate on the commercialization of Acrosol’s DSC technology and products via materials supply and technical co-operation.

Acrosol is located in the business incubator at Chonnam National University and has particular expertise in Dye Solar Cell nanomaterials such as Phosphor-Doped DSC. The contract was finalized following the initial payment of €150,000 to Dyesol. 

“Dyesol is increasingly being recognised as the world leader in DSC materials and technology,” said Gordon Thompson, Dyesol Director Global. “There is a rapidly growing demand for our technology, turnkey facilities, materials, and practical expertise from an increasing number of companies entering the DSC market operating in diverse geographic locations.”
