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 ...
The efficiency of electric power generation by dye-sensitized mesoscopic photovoltaic cells has been progressing steadily over the last years reaching now 11% in full sunlight. An important question for practical applications concerns the stability of thes ...
Dye-sensitised nanocrystalline solar cells are currently subject of intense research in the framework of renewable energies as a low-cost photovoltaic device. In particular dye-sensitised cells based on spiro-MeOTAD have gained attention as promising appro ...
This paper describes the preparation and the characterization of a photovoltaic cell based on the sensitization of a wide band gap p-type semiconductor (NiO) with a phosphorus porphyrin. A photophysical study with femtosecond transient absorption spectrosc ...
Two novel cyanine-fullerene dyads have been synthesized by means of the Prato reaction from the corresponding cyanine-aldehyde, N-methylglycine and C60. As well as a thorough characterization using MS-TOF, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR a ...
The relation between the VOC, light intensity, φ, and accumulated charge, Q, was studied for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) contg. different counterions for the iodide/triiodide redox couple. At higher light intensities, VOC scaled in the order Cs+ > K+ ...
Dye-to-semiconductor electron transfer is the initial step in many processes where light is used for the storage of information (e. g. color photography) or converted into electricity as in dye-sensitized solar cells. In the latter, interfacial charge inje ...
Efficient and stable mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) introducing a low-viscosity binary ionic liquid (1-propyl-3-methyl-imidazolium iodide (PMII) and 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetracyanoborate (EMIB(CN)4)) electrolyte in combination with a ...
Ru(4,4-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine) (4,4'-bis(2-(4-(1,4,7,10-tetraoxyundecyl)phenyl)ethenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine) (NCS)(2), a new high molar extinction coefficient ion-coordinating ruthenium sensitizer was synthesized and characterized using H-1 NMR, Fou ...
Nanostructured TiO2 films have been deposited onto conducting glass and on flexible conducting plastic substrates using a compression technique. Dye-sensitized solar cells prepd. from Degussa P25 TiO2 powder, red dye (Ru(dcbpy)2(SCN)2)(NBu4)2 (dcbpy = 2,2' ...
