Solar energy is the most abundant energy source, harnessing solar energy holds the solution to the challenge of increasing global energy demand and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Photovoltaics which directly convert solar energy into electricity ...
A green, efficient and stable solar cell based only on water and safe and cheap elements of the periodic table is proposed in this work, finally consolidating (also from a sustainability viewpoint) the concept of "artificial photosynthesis" studied for dec ...
A method for manufacturing a semiconducting, organic, covalent polymer network thin film is disclosed, said method comprising the steps of deposing a solution comprising azide- containing monomers and electron-deficient alkyne-containing monomers onto a re ...
The teachings herein relate to hole transport compounds containing cyclobutyl moieties that can be made into organic hole conductors and hole transport materials. Furthermore, optoelectronic and photoelectrochemical devices, in particular photovoltaic devi ...
• To date β-aryloxy-substituted designs have led to the best results in phthalocyanine-sensitized solar cells (Pc-SCs) because of their low aggregation properties. By incorporating the bulky semiflexible 2,6-diphenylphenoxy group at three α-positions of th ...
In this work, the effects of a titanium (Ti) layer on the charge transport and recombination rates of flexible perovskite solar cells were studied. Ti as an efficient barrier layer was deposited directly on PET-ITO flexible substrates through RF magnetic s ...
This review presents an overview of the dedicated research directions of the Group for Molecular Engineering of Functional Materials (GMF). This includes molecular engineering aspects of sensitizers constructed from ruthenium complexes, organic molecules, ...
Solution-processable semiconducting polymers have been explored over the last decades for their potential applications in inexpensively fabricated transistors, diodes and photovoltaic cells. However, a remaining challenge in the field is to control the sol ...
Due to advantages such as mechanical flexibility, light weight and the prospect to use low-cost roll-to-roll manufacturing processes, organic semiconductors have been widely investi-gated in many application areas as alternatives for their inorganic counte ...
