Phenanthrene-Fused-Quinoxaline as a Key Building Block for Highly Efficient and Stable Sensitizers in Copper-Electrolyte-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Etienne Christophe Socie, Weiwei Zhang, Brian Irving Carlsen, Yameng Ren, Yinghui Wu, Huiyun Jiang

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on Cu-II/I bipyridyl or phenanthroline complexes as redox shuttles have achieved very high open-circuit voltages (V-OC, more than 1 V). However, their short-circuit photocurrent density (J(SC)) has remained modest. ...

Electron-Affinity-Triggered Variations on the Optical and Electrical Properties of Dye Molecules Enabling Highly Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Péter Kalman Péchy, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Yuhang Liu, Yiming Cao, Yasemin Saygili, Weiwei Zhang, Marko Stojanovic

The synthesis, characterization, and photovoltaic performance of a series of indacenodithiophene (IDT)-based D--A organic dyes with varying electron-accepting units is presented. By control of the electron affinity, perfectly matching energy levels were ac ...

Comprehensive control of voltage loss enables 11.7% efficient solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Ladislav Kavan, Jingshan Luo, Chenyi Yi, Yuhang Liu, Yiming Cao, Yasemin Saygili, Weiwei Zhang

The relatively large voltage loss (Vloss) in excitonic type solar cells severely limits their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Here, we report a comprehensive control of Vloss through efficacious engineering of the sensitizer and redox mediator, makin ...

Highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells achieved through using Pt-free Nb2O5/C composite counter electrode and iodide-free redox couples

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Weiwei Zhang, Wenyan Li

To improve the catalytic activity of Nb2O5, a composite Nb2O5/C (Nb2O5 imbedded in carbon support) is synthesized with a simple in situ method and then introduced the composite into dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) as a counter electrode (CE) catalyst. Ba ...

Low-cost Cr doped Pt3Ni alloy supported on carbon nanofibers composites counter electrode for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Weiwei Zhang, Mei Wang

Pt3Ni alloy supported by carbon nanofibers (CNs) composites (Pt3Ni/CNs) synthesized by a simple solvothermal process was introduced into dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) as counter electrode (CE) for the first time, and the DSCs based on Pt3Ni/CNs CE obta ...
