Optical gap and fundamental gap of oligoynes and carbyne

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Holger Frauenrath, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Stephen Schrettl, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Eric Albert Georges Bremond, Emmanuel Romaric Contal

The optoelectronic properties of various carbon allotropes and nanomaterials have been well established, while the purely sp-hybridized carbyne remains synthetically inaccessible. Its properties have therefore frequently been extrapolated from those of def ...

Unusually Long-Lived Photocharges in Helical Organic Semiconductor Nanostructures

Jürgen Brugger, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Holger Frauenrath, Valentin Flauraud, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Liangfei Tian, Thomas Schmaltz, Regina Judith Hafner

Photocharge generation and formation of long-lived charge carriers are relevant in photosynthesis, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and organic electronics. A better understanding of the factors that determine these processes in synthetic polymer semiconduct ...

Charge separation and carrier dynamics in donor-acceptor heterojunction photovoltaic systems

Majed Chergui, Ursula Röthlisberger, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Ariadni Boziki, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Joël Teuscher, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Alicia Solano, Jean-Pierre Wolf

Electron transfer and subsequent charge separation across donor-acceptor heterojunctions remain the most important areas of study in the field of third-generation photovoltaics. In this context, it is particularly important to unravel the dynamics of indiv ...

The Fate of Electron–Hole Pairs in Polymer:Fullerene Blends for Organic Photovoltaics

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Mariateresa Scarongella, Jelissa Risse, Natalie Stingelin, Martina Causa'

There has been long-standing debate on how free charges are generated in donor:acceptor blends that are used in organic solar cells, and which are generally comprised of a complex phase morphology, where intermixed and neat phases of the donor and acceptor ...

Dynamics of Interfacial Charge Transfer States and Carriers Separation in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy Study

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Arianna Marchioro, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

Electron injection from a photoexcited molecular sensitizer into a wide-bandgap semiconductor is the primary step toward charge separation in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). According to the current understanding of DSSCs functioning mechanism, charges ...

Charge generation in organic solar cell materials studied by terahertz spectroscopy

Natalie Renuka Banerji, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Mariateresa Scarongella

We have investigated the photophysics in neat films of conjugated polymer PBDTTPD and its blend with PCBM using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. This material has very high efficiency when used in organic solar cells. We were able to identify a THz sign ...

Solubility and Crystallizability: Facile Access to Functionalized pi-Conjugated Compounds with Chlorendylimide Protecting Groups

Rosario Scopelliti, Holger Frauenrath, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Jan Gebers, Stéphane Suarez, Damien Rolland, Roman Niklaus Marty, Luca Cervini

Functional pi-conjugated molecules are relevant for the preparation of new organic electronic materials with improved performance. However, their synthesis is often rendered difficult by their inherently low solubility, and the permanent attachment of solu ...

Synthesis and Characterization of High-Photoactivity Electrodeposited Cu2O solar absorber by photoelectrochemistry and ultrafast spectroscopy

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Adriana Paracchino, Jan Cornelius Brauer

We present a systematic study on the effects of electrodeposition parameters on the photoelectrochemical properties of Cu2O. The influence of deposition variables (temperature, pH, and deposition current density) on conductivity has been widely explored in ...

Conduction Through Viscoelastic Phase in a Redox-Active Ionic Liquid at Reduced Temperatures

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Verner Thorsmolle

The phase diagram of the redox active ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (PMII) is examined as a function of temperature and iodine concentration. Beyond a threshold concentration of 3.9 M, the formation of higher polyiodides gives rise to a ...
