Michael Graetzel

Cursus :

Professeur à l' Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne, Michael Graetzel y dirige le Laboratoire Photoniques et Interfaces. Il est, avec son équipe, l'inventeur des "cellules graetzel" prometteuses sur le plan de la conversion de l'énergie solaire en énergie électrique. Il utilise, entre autres, le colorant naturel des plantes pour convertir l'énergie solaire en électricité tout comme le feraient les plantes lors de la photosynthèse.
