Making LCD into Solar Panel
Titanium Dioxide photo voltaic cell made from LCD panel.
Please turn up your speakers! im having sound probs.
a deatiled more description of the construction can be found at

its also so been pointed out to me that i made a mistake in building it.

m3sca1,
Great …
m3sca1,
Great video, I especially like how you source your materials! I am doing a PhD in this technology, I could send you some better chemicals and tips on eliminating some of those defects if you’d like, and then make another video? I assume you are in Oz?

cool-remember i made a mistake by adding the TiO2 to both sides-so only put it on one,and try to make the layer as thin as possible-be careful cracking the screen open -cut finger potential is high!

Well, I got an old laptop screen from a buddy of mine. The glass isnt broke, but getting all the crap off the screen is a pain in the ass! If I screw it up, he has some more for me to try

I wonder if a dark blue ink would work. Certainly it would be easier and cleaner than squeezing berries.

yeah those LCD panels are a bugger to get apart without breaking them. i’ll keep my eyes out for a good glass fridge door in the scrap yard, provided they don’t break it with the machine :/
I’ll check my old work too to see if they have some old stock black and white powdered masterbatches, their pretty much pure carbon and TiO2

yeah im after fridge doors from the shop type-they have a ITO coating to stop frosting and allow the customer to see inside-you would be better placed to find this in your scrapping,so keep your eyes peeled-thats a lot more surface area and alot easier to get apart than a LCD panel.
the.
yeah i spose the carbon and the TiO2 could be sprayed on-but the ITO is done with electron sputtering methods….

You may find one in an old microwave.

why dont you try using poke berries as they are very high in staining materials. I dont know if you have poke berries where you live though.

Amazing! good idea using the plant matter as a source of organic dye!.
I’ve got dozens of old laptops with TFT LCD’s in them, would they behave the same or would it have to be an older style LCD like on a photocopier panel?
I guess for a bigger panel you could apply most coatings with a spray gun? like the TiO2 and carbon?

plexigas is no good-you need a tin oxide layer on the glass-that is found in LCD panels and see thru fridge doors.

That’s very nice,easy and messy LOL
instead of LCD panels can you use thin plexiglass? Is there something in the LCD panel that contributes to the process?

Just the dye? That would be great.

i didnt get yet the materials its need and plus and minus bar where to connect …plz let me know…thanx a lot

good question-i dont know-i suppose it would be dependant on the dye breaking down-at which time it can be re-opened and fresh dye applied-fast food shop refrigerator doors would be a better source of ITO glass than pulling down an old LCD screen.
thanx for commenting
