The direct conversion of sun light to elec. power in mol. photoelectrochem. systems, aka Gratzel solar cells, is one of the promising "solar technologies" for utilization of abundant solar light as alternative energy source. Considering advantages of Gratz ...
Donor-π-acceptor dyes with different electron-withdrawing groups were designed and synthesized for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells. The modification of the dye structure influences the photophys., electrochem. and photovoltaic performance of the dyes. DS ...
A novel on-target phosphopeptide enrichment method is presented that allows specific enrichment and direct anal. by matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) of phosphorylated peptides. Spots consisting of a thin film of anat ...
Electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells with varying mesoporous TiO2 film thicknesses was investigated using exptl. and computational methods. More specifically, photocurrent transients resulting from small-amplitude square-wave modulation of the ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) with nanotubular TiO2 electrodes of varying thicknesses are compared to DSCs based on conventional nanoparticulate electrodes. Despite the higher degree of order in one-dimensional nanotubular electrodes, electron transpor ...
An org. redox couple (McMT-/BMT) was used in dye-sensitized solar cells. Based on a low-cost org. dye, TH305, an efficiency of 4.0% was achieved under simulated sunlight (100 mW/cm2). Photoelectrochem. measurements provided insight into the difference betw ...
Different molecular layers on TiO2 were prepared by using the p-dimethylaniline triphenylamine based organic dye, D29, together with the coadsorbents decylphosphonic acid (DPA), dineohexyl bis(3,3-dimethylbutyl)phosphinic acid (DINHOP), and chenodeoxycholi ...
A series of novel metal-free org. dyes TC301-TC310 with relatively high HOMO levels were synthesized and applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on electrolytes that contain Br-/Br3- and I-/I3-. The effects of additive Li+ ions and the HOMO leve ...
A review on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Some brief notes on solar energy in general and DSC in particular are given, followed by a discussion of the operational principles of DSC (energetics and kinetics). Then, the development of material component ...
A photoelectrochem. device with a mol. Ru catalyst assembled via pH-modified Nafion on a dye-sensitized nanostructured TiO2 film as anode and a Pt foil as cathode has been successfully demonstrated to split water into O2 and H2 driven by visible light. ...
