We present a novel approach to cover different substrates with thin light-sensitive layers that consist of org.-capped TiO2 nanorods (NRs). Such NR-based coatings exhibit an increasing initial hydrophobicity with increasing NR length, and they demonstrate ...
Two unsymmetrical Zn(II) phthalocyanines 1 and 2 bearing an anchoring carboxylic function linked to the phthalocyanine ring through different rigid arylenevinylene bridges have been designed for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. The phthalocya ...
We perform in this paper a kinetic study of the photoelectrochemical responses of nanoporous thin photoactive films. The films were fabricated by by a layer-by-layer assembly of positively charged polyelectrolytes (poly-L- Lysine, pLys) and negatively char ...
The solar to electrical power conversion efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) incorporating a solid-state organic hole-transporter can be over 5%. However, this is for devices significantly thinner than the optical depth of the active composite ...
A review. Wet-chem. approaches to multi-component hybrid nanocrystals (HNCs), that incorporate nanoscale domains of different semiconductor, metallic and/or oxide materials interconnected through inorg. junctions, are illustrated and discussed. Control of ...
Dye sensitized solar cells based on annealed titanium dioxide films prepd. by oblique reactive d.c. magnetron sputtering have been investigated. Electron transport and recombination were studied using intensity-modulated photocurrent and photovoltage spect ...
Five novel perylene mols. with different intramol. charge-transfer (ICT) characters have been synthesized. The relation between the ICT character for different donating groups and the results for their electro- and photochem. properties as well as their pe ...
Nanostructured TiO2 films were modified by insertion with Al ions using an electrochem. process. After heat treatment these films were suitable as electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. By a catechol adsorption test and with photoelectron spectroscopy , ...
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 ...
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 ...
