Several structural modifications have been made to a sensitizer dye based on the phenoxazine core, which was tested in a solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell configuration based on the hole transporting material 2,2',7,7',-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenyl- ...
In dye-sensitized solar cells an efficient transfer of holes from the oxidized dye to the contact is necessary, which in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells is performed by hole-conductor mols. In this report we use photoinduced absorption and transient ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) are based on molecular and nanometer-scale components. Record cell efficiencies of 12%, promising stability data and means of energy-efficient production methods have been accomplished. As selling points for the DSC technol ...
Chem. vapor deposition (CVD) at atm. pressure, using TiCl4 as a precursor, was used to grow nanostructured TiO2 films on glass substrates. At relatively low temps. (∼245 °C) and using relatively high reactant concns., different nano-morphologies of TiO2 we ...
Mo phosphide (MoP), Ni phosphide (Ni5P4), and C-supported Ni5P4 (Ni5P4/C) were proposed for use as counter electrode (CE) catalysts in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) for the regeneration of both the conventional I3-/I- redox couple and a new org. T2/T- ...
TiO2 nanotube (TNT) arrays have proven to be a perspective material for dye- or semiconductor sensitized solar cells. Although their prepn. by anodic oxidn. method is well elaborated for Ti foil substrate, the synthesis of high quality, homogeneous TNT arr ...
TiC has been used as a counter electrode catalyst in place of Pt for triiodide redn. in dye-sensitized solar cells. Its catalytic activity can be comparable to that of Pt. The effect of the thickness of the TiC layer on the performance of the dye-sensitize ...
Photoinduced mol. rearrangements are important in daily events essential for life such as visual perception and photo-protection of light harvesting complexes in plants. In this study we demonstrate that similar photorearrangements appear in an analogous t ...
Two hole conductor materials, spiro-OMeTAD and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), were compared in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Two org. dyes contg. one anchor unit (D35) or two anchor units (M3) were used in the comparison. Absorbed photon-to-curre ...
A series of perylene dyes with different optical and electronic properties have been used as photosensitizers in NiO-based p-type dye-sensitized solar cells. A key target is to develop dyes that absorb light in the red to near-IR region of the solar spectr ...
