Here the TiO2 is coated onto a mineral woven fabric by doctor-blade method. The TiO2 paste 18NR-AO was purchased from Greatcell Solar, and the FILAVA mineral woven fabric was purchased from Isomatex S.A. The coated TiO2 layer was fired with conventional kitchen electric stove, the temperature was set to 8, which is proximately measured 400 to 440 celsius with temperature gun. The sintered TiO2 layer was then soak into annatto dyes for ~5 hours. The woven FILAVA fabricc turned golden color.

First prototype

The woven photo-electrode

The TiO2 paste 18NR-AO purchased from Greatcell Solar is coated onto the mineral woven fabric provided by Isomatex by doctor-blade method. The fabric is then fired with conventional kitchen electric stove under 400˚C to 440˚C and it's soaked into annatto dyes for 5 hours after cooling down. The final piece appears in golden color after dyeing process is completed. The backside of the fabric is coated with silver paste (A729)
