The electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells with a MOCVD (metal org. vapor deposition)-grown ZnO nanorod array (ZnO-N) or a mesoporous film prepd. from ZnO colloids (ZnO-C) as the working electrode was compared. The electrodes were of similar thic ...
A new method for the prepn. of nanostructured TiO2 films, based on the compression of a TiO2 powder is presented, and its relevance for the prodn. of dye-sensitized solar cells is discussed. By applying a pressure (>200 kg cm-2) on a film of TiO2 powder, a ...
Counter electrodes (CEs) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) can be prepared with different materials and methods. This review covers recent research on CEs using platinum, graphite, activated carbon, carbon black, single-wall carbon nanotubes, poly( 3,4- ...
Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanoporous layers were prepared with electro-oxidative polymerization using room temperature hydrophobic ionic liquids as a medium. The synthesized highly porous PEDOT films exhibit room temperature conductivity va ...
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detector is presented in this article. The detector is applied for micellar electrokinetic chromatographic separation of dichlorotris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) hydrate [Ru(bpy)] and dichlorotris(1,10-phenanthroline ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are of interest because of their potential for low-cost solar energy conversion. Currently, the certified record efficiency of these solar cells is 11.1%, and measurements of their durability and stability suggest lifetime ...
The transport and interfacial transfer of electrons in dye-sensitized solar cells utilizing the Co(dbbip)(2) (dbbip = 2,6-bis(l'-butylbenzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine) redox couple as an alternative to the conventional I-3(-)/l(-) couple have been investigated ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on two novel carbazole dyes and a Br-/Br3- redox mediator in dry CH3CN solns. as electrolytes yielded a Voc of 1.156 V and a η value of 3.68% and a Voc of 0.939 V and a η value of 5.22% under simulated AM 1.5, resp. ...
Due to their high efficiencies and their potentially low production costs, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have attracted much attention during the last few years. The technology is based on a layer made of mesoscopic TiO2 film which significantly increa ...
Addn. of 4-tert-butylpyridine (4TBP) to redox electrolytes used in dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells has a large effect on their performance. In an electrolyte contg. 0.7M LiI and 0.05M I2 in 3-methoxypropionitrile, addn. of 0.5M 4TBP gave an increase of the ...
