Nanofibrous TiO2 improving performance of mesoporous TiO2 electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell

Michael Graetzel, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan

A method of direct coating of conducting glass by electrospinning was developed. Electrospun fibrous TiO2 consisting of closely packed anatase nanocrystals of 40-50 nm in size was incorporated into mesoporous TiO2 thin film stabilized by phosphorus. The me ...

Metal free sensitizer and catalyst for dye sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan

The carbon neutral process for energy conversion is of utmost importance, in this context photovoltaics, especially dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a viable alternative. Few terawatts of carbon free renewable energy can be produced by DSSCs. However ...

Application of graphene-based nanostructures in dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan

The paper reviews recent advances in the application of graphene and related materials, viz. graphene nanoplatelets (GNP), functionalized graphene sheets (FGS), graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as electrode building materials in dye-se ...

Voltage enhancement in dye-sensitized solar cell using (001)-oriented anatase TiO2 nanosheets

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Paul Liska, Ladislav Kavan, Elham Ghadiri

A nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) nanosheet ex- posing mainly the (001) crystal faces was tested as photo- anode material in dye-sensitized solar cells. The nanosheets were prepared by hydrothermal growth in HF medium. Good-quality thin films were deposited ...

Graphene Nanoplatelet Cathode for Co(III)/(II) Mediated Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) in the form of thin semitransparent film on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) exhibit high electrocatalytic activity for Co(L)(2); where L is 6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine. The exchange current densities for the Co(2+/)3(+)(L)(2) redox ...

Optically Transparent Cathode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Graphene Nanoplatelets

Michael Graetzel, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan

Commercial graphene nanoplatelets in the form of optically transparent thin films on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) exhibited high electrocatalytic activity toward I-3(-)/I- redox couple, particularly in electrolyte based on, ionic liquid (Z952). The charge-transfer r ...

Graphene Nanoplatelets Outperforming Platinum as the Electrocatalyst in Co-Bipyridine-Mediated Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Jun Ho Yum, Ladislav Kavan

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) in the form of thin semitransparent films on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) exhibit high electrocatalytic activity for the Co(bpy)(3)(3+/2+) redox couple in acetonitrile electrolyte solution. The GNP film is superior to the traditional ele ...
