Solar energy represents an abundant (1000 W·m-2) and seemingly cheap source of energy. One way to tap it is to transform light into electricity with photovoltaic devices. Single junction solar cells presently reach 32% conversion yield under 1-sun illumina ...
Transient absorption spectroscopy on subpicosecond to second time scales is used to investigate photogenerated charge carrier recombination in Si-doped nanostructured hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) photoanodes as a function of applied bias. For unbiased hematite, ...
With the increasing cognition of the importance of organic molecules, they are widely applied in printing, biological and pharmacological fields, because of their special capabilities of harvesting solar light, scavenging free radicals, and chelating metal ...
Polycrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) films, prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition are investigated in this thesis. ZnO belongs to the class of transparent conductive oxide materials, as it is transparent to light from the visible to the near-infra ...
In dye-sensitized solar cells an efficient transfer of holes from the oxidized dye to the contact is necessary, which in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells is performed by hole-conductor mols. In this report we use photoinduced absorption and transient ...
A novel thiocyanate-free cyclometalated ruthenium sensitizer for solar cells is designed and developed. Upon anchoring to nanocrystalline TiO2 films, it exhibits a remarkable incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency of 83%. The solar ...
Photo-induced charge separation and charge transport are fundamental processes in many energy conversion techniques, where light is converted into chemical energy (PEC), into electrical energy (solar cells) or in the opposite sense if electrical energy is ...
Ruthenium-based C106 and organic D131 sensitizers have been judicially chosen for co-sensitization due to their complementary absorption properties and different molecular sizes. Co-sensitization yields a higher light-harvesting efficiency as well as bette ...
A perylene sensitizer, ID176, was recently reported which performs much better in solid state dye-sensitized solar cells than in those using liq. electrolytes with iodide/tri-iodide as the redox couple. Here, a characterization is presented of the sensitiz ...
The relaxation dynamics of the dye D35 was characterized by transient absorption spectroscopy in acetonitrile and on TiO2 and ZrO2 thin films. In acetonitrile, upon photoexcitation of the dye via the S0 → S1 transition, ultrafast solvation dynamics with su ...
