The anchoring of the ruthenium dye {(C4H9)4N}[Ru(Htcterpy)(NCS)3] (tcterpy = 4,4',4''-tricarboxy-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine), the so-called black dye, onto nanocryst. TiO2 films has been characterized by UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopies. FTIR spectroscopy d ...
Photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectroscopy was used to investigate dye-sensitized electrodes and solar cells under illumination conditions comparable to sunlight. In the absence of redox electrolyte, cis-Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2-sensitized nanostructured TiO2 film ...
Nanoporous ZnO electrodes, dye-sensitized with a ruthenium bipyridyl complex, were used as photoanodes in photoelectrochem. solar cells. By improving the interfacial contact between dyes and ZnO particles in the film, overall solar-to-elec. energy conversi ...
In this paper, we present an improved version of microcavity light-emitting diodes, relying on the use of a low-index material, aluminum oxide. Our work addresses in particular the injection scheme required by the insulating nature of this oxide. The devic ...
The interaction between the dye cis-bis(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)-bis(isothiocyanato) ruthenium(II), Ru(dcbpyH2)2(NCS)2, and nanostructured ZnO was investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) using synchrotron radiation. The results are compared ...
The electronic and mol. structures of an electrochem. reduced and oxidized triarylamine layer (((3-ethyl(p-N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl)amino)propyl-1-phosphonic acid) adsorbed on a nanocryst. TiO2 film have been studied. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) measu ...
A novel method for anchoring phthalocyanines substituted with ester groups onto nanostructured TiO2 films is described. Such phthalocyanines did not adsorb on nanostructured TiO2 film by the ordinary methods. In the authors' new method, the TiO2 film is pr ...
The dynamics of electron-transfer processes between bis(tetrabutylammonium) cis-bis(thiocyanato)bis(2,2'-bipiridine-4,4'-dicarboxylato)ruthenium(II) (called N719) and nanostructured ZnO films were studied by femtosecond and nanosecond spectroscopy. The inc ...
Dye-sensitized nanocryst. TiO2 solar cells are currently under development. Since these cells contain an electrolyte soln. we reviewed the health and safety aspects in view of indoor applications, where personal contact cannot be excluded. Only small amts. ...
Photoelectron spectroscopy is used to measure the electronic d. of states in the band gap region of a nanostructured TiO2 film. Such nanostructured films are used in dye-sensitized solar cells, and a plain TiO2 film as well as a dye-sensitized film were ex ...
