Pore Filling of Spiro-OMeTAD in Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Determined Via Optical Reflectometry

A simple strategy is presented to determine the pore-filling fraction of the hole-conductor 2,2-7,7-tetrakis-N,N-di-pmethoxyphenylamine-9,9-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) into mesoporous photoanodes in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ss-DSCs). Base ...

Acid-base properties of the N3 ruthenium(II) solar cell sensitizer: a combined experimental and computational analysis

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Filippo de Angelis

We report a combined spectro-photometric and computational investigation of the acid-base equilibria of the N3 solar cell sensitizer [Ru(dcbpyH(2))(2)(NCS)(2)] (dcbpyH(2) = 4,4'-dicarboxyl-2,2' bipyridine) in aqueous/ethanol solutions. The absorption spect ...

Effect of anchoring groups in zinc phthalocyanine on the dye-sensitized solar cell performance and stability

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum, Robin Humphry-Baker, Péter Kalman Péchy

We have designed and developed an unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine (TT9) sensitizer that consists of three tert-butyl and two carboxylic acid groups that act as "push'' and "pull'', respectively. The two carboxylic acid groups graft the sensitizer onto th ...

Investigation on the dynamics of electron transport and recombination in TiO2 nanotube/nanoparticle composite electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

In this work, the fabrication and characterization are reported of dye-sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanotube/nanoparticle (NT/NP) composite electrodes. TiO2 nanotubes were prepd. by anodization of Ti foil in an org. electrolyte. The nanotubes were ...

FeS2-quantum-dot sensitized metal oxide photoelectrodes: photoelectrochemistry and photoinduced absorption spectroscopy

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

TiO2, ZnO nanoparticulate(-np), and ZnO-nanorod(-nr) electrodes have been modified with FeS2 (pyrite) nanoparticles. Quantum size effect is manifested by a blue shift in both absorption and photocurrent action spectra. PIA (photoinduced absorption spectros ...

The influence of dye structure on charge recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yuhang Liu

Replacing the nonyl groups on the solar cell dye Ru(4,4'-carboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine)-( 4,4'-dinonyl-2,2'-bipyridine)(NCS)(2) (Z-907) with amino groups results in a marked decrease in solar cell performance. This is despite the fact that the amino deri ...

Preventing Dye Aggregation on ZnO by Adding Water in the Dye-Sensitization Process

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

ZnO based dye-sensitized solar cells have been studied using N719 and Z-907 as sensitizing dyes, with and without adding water to the dye soln. The solar cells have been characterized using photoelec. measurements and the interface between the dye and the ...

Cobalt Polypyridyl-Based Electrolytes for p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Polypyridyl Co complexes with different substituents were applied as redox mediators in p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (p-DSCs), consisting of mesoporous NiO sensitized with a perylenemonoimide-naphthalenediimide (PMI-NDI) dyad. The photocurrent and pho ...
