The transport and recombination of electrons in dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells were studied by anal. of the current and voltage response to a small square-wave light-intensity modulation. Solar cells were studied under working conditions by using potentio ...
Five novel perylene mols. with different intramol. charge-transfer (ICT) characters have been synthesized. The relation between the ICT character for different donating groups and the results for their electro- and photochem. properties as well as their pe ...
The invention relates to ÿ-substituted porphyrins, methods for their synthesis, and their use in the preparation of photoelectric materials. In particular, the invention relates to solid state photoelectric devices, including solar cells and photodetectors ...
Novel organic sensitizers comprising donor; electron-conducting, and anchoring groups were engineered at molecular level and synthesized. The functionalized unsymmetrical organic sensitizers 3-{5-[N,N-Bis(9,9-dimethylfluorene-2-yl)phenyl]-thiophene-2-yl}-2 ...
Basic limitations of single-junction and tandem p-n and p-i-n diodes are established from thermodynamical considerations on radiative recombination and semi-empirical considerations on the classical diode equations. These limits are compared to actual valu ...
A ruthenium complex trans-[Ru(L)(NCS)2], L ) 4,4¢¢¢-di- tert-butyl-4¢,4¢¢-bis(carboxylic acid)-2,2¢:6¢,2¢¢:6¢¢,2¢¢¢- quaterpyridine (N886), was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The absorption spectrum of the N886 ...
The effect of RC attenuation was not correctly taken into account. This led to a misinterpretation of the photocurrent response data that was in Figure 3a on page 17717 and further discussion. Under operating conditions, electrons are accumulated throughou ...
The aim of this work was to develop new, organic dyes, capable of harvesting photons in the red to near-IR region of the spectrum. A series of squaraine and tricarbocyanine dyes were produced and characterised and their optical and redox properties studied ...
Long-lasting charge separation is key to the performance of solar cells. A new design for larger conjugated dye-sensitizer molecules effectively retards the recombination of the charge-separated state and promises improved energy conversion effi ciency. ...
The cond. and solar cell performance of metal iodide-doped trialkylsulfonium iodides and polyiodides were studied as electrolytes in dye-sensitized nanocryst. solar cells (DNSCs). Nine different metal-iodide-contg. (R2R'S)I with addnl. iodine provided over ...
