Introduction

In the US, about 95% of all electricity is generated through the use of fossil and nuclear fuels. 
Also, the demanding electricity (energy) is keep growing; so that in 2100, about 4 times more resources will be required to sustain decent living conditions. 

However, these sources are limited. The reserved oil, natural gas, and coals will be gone in 50 years from now. 

Also, the bi-product of these fossil pollute the earth, which resulted in dramatic increase of earth temperature. 

The solar energy has potent to being next generation energy source. 









The goal of this project is to develop titanium dioxide solar cell, which is cost effective, use of organic dye (chlorophyll, blackberries, and raspberries) to improve the energy efficiency.
