Researchers at MIT led by Drs. Using the nanocomposites as photoanodes in dye-sensitized solar cells, they achieved a power conversion efficiency in the solar cells of 10.6%, up from 8%—an increase of almost one-third. In their tests, adding the virus-built structures enhanced the power conversion efficiency to 10.6%.
