Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC), introduced by O'Regan and Grätzel in 1991, are a low cost alternative to conventional silicon photovoltaic cells, the latter requiring extremely pure starting materials and sophisticated production procedures. DSC's, based ...
The electron transport and recombination in dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells with different electrolytes have been investigated. The electrolytes were based on iodine-doped ionic liqs. (diethylmethylsulfonium iodide, dibutylmethylsulfonium iodide or 3-hexyl ...
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 ...
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 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 series of allyl-functionalized imidazolium salts are reported, including 1-allyl-3-ethylimidazolium iodide and 1-allyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide, which have m.ps. close to room temp. and show typical properties of supercooled fluids if heated above thei ...
We describe the construction and performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) based on arrays of ZnO nanowires coated with thin shells of amorphous Al2O3 or anatase TiO2 by atomic layer deposition. We find that alumina shells of all thicknesses act as ...
The electronic structure of the wide band gap hole conductors CuI and CuSCN in contact with an org. dye (Ru(dcbpyH2)2(NCS)2, cis-bis(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)bis(isothiocyanato)ruthenium(II))were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. The expts. show ...
Nanocryst. TiO2 films, surface modified with Al3+, were manufd. by depositing a TiO2 suspension contg. small amts. of Al nitrate or Al chloride onto conducting glass substrates, followed by drying, compression, and finally heating to 530°. Electrodes prepd ...
Rylene derivs. are prepd. and described for use as photosensitizers for solar cells. These derivs., which have a high incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency, are esp. useful in solar cells for the decompn. of water into hydrogen and oxygen. ...
