Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) are a new class of molecular photovoltaics that mimics the natural photosynthesis, for the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity. A typical DSC is a sandwich of a dye sensitized nanoparticle TiO2 film and a catalys ...
In this study visible light active iodine doped titanium dioxide samples prepared by sol-gel method were investigated. Photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XF ...
The actualization of a hydrogen economy requires cost-effective and environmentally benign solutions to hydrogen production. Chemical energy in the form of hydrogen is more interesting than electricity to satisfy our ever-increasing energy demand because i ...
The tandem photoelectochemical (PEC) cell based on oxide semiconductors for water splitting offers a potentially inexpensive route for solar hydrogen generation. At the heart of the device, a nanostructured photoanode for water oxidation is connected in se ...
The present work demonstrates that tuning the donor density of protective TiO2 layers on a photocathode has dramatic consequences for electronic conduction through TiO2 with implications for the stabilization of oxidation-sensitive catalysts on the surface ...
A series of C-doped, W-doped, and C,W-codoped TiO2 samples have been prepared using modified sol-gel techniques. Reproducible inexpensive C-doping arises from the presence of melamine borate in a sol-gel mixture, whereas W-doping is from the addition of tu ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 photovoltaic performances of ZnO-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been studied for ZnO porous films prepared by different techniques. A comparison is made between nanoparticle (NP) films prepared by a sol-gel method and two different elect ...
