I've read it 3 times and it looks very okay, grammatically-speaking. The sentences are correctly punctuated and the spelling is perfect. Good job!

1. do not use the word contrivance, it makes it sound unscientific.
solar collectors are not color/frequency linked. I is light that causes the electrons to move

2. Carbon monoxide will quickly oxidize to CO2.
while it is used in some mining operations to help split the metal from the ore, it is not in laundry detergents.
It is used with methanol to produce acetic acid

‘The Spectrolab's Multijunction Solar Cell is an alternative and a remarkably efficient method of converting solar energy. It is able to capture multiple sections of the energy spectrum rather than just a narrow band. The first layer of this cell is composed of gallium indium phosphide, which converts the short-wavelength portions of the spectrum, such as blue and UV light. The second layer, made of gallium arsenide, captures the middle part of the spectrum. The third germanium layer deals with with infrared (IR) light. All three layers transform the optical energy into electrical current.
The Carbon Dioxide Splitting Semiconductor/Catalyst Device is a recent and revolutionary discovery that uses solar energy to split carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Its gallium phosphide semiconductor processes the carbon dioxide in three steps. First, the semiconductor converts solar energy photons into electrical energy. Next, this energy activates the catalysts that split the carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen. The oxygen is then released into the air while the carbon monoxide is routed for further processing into laundry detergent and methanol. The methanol can be also used to produce much needed fuel.
