Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
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 ...
Electron transport in dye-sensitized nanocryst. solar cells appears to be a slow diffusion-controlled process. Values of the apparent electron diffusion coeff. are many orders of magnitude smaller than those reported for bulk anatase. The slow transport of ...
Due to the limiting amount of fossil fuel available and to the continuous growth of the world energy consumption, it becomes important to find alternative energy sources. Hydrogen produced by the photoelectrolysis of water is a perfect candidate as a clean ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a material that belongs to the family of Transparent Conductives Oxides (TCO). Its non-toxicity and the abundant availability in the Earth's crust of its components make it an ideal candidate as electrical transparent contact for thin-f ...
Photoinduced electron transfer from the valence band of nanocryst. NiO, a p-type semiconductor, to an excited bound dye, Coumarin 343, and the subsequent recombination have been measured by femtosecond transient absorbance spectroscopy probing with white l ...
The new dye complex bis[4,4'-di(2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine][4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine]ruthenium(II) dihexafluorophosphate (1) was prepd., characterized by absorption spectroscopy and adsorbed onto nanocryst. TiO2 electrodes. The resul ...
The effect of electronic and nuclear factors on the dynamics of dye-to-semiconductor electron transfer was studied employing RuII(terpy)(NCS)3 sensitizers grafted onto transparent films made of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Various approaches were strive ...
Porous silicon (PS) thin films have been prepd. by electrochem. anodization of p-Si in HF-H2O-EtOH soln. and they have been used as substrate material for the prepn. of iridium oxide based electrodes (PS/IrO2) using the thermal decompn. technique. The morp ...
Hexanethiolate monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs) were used as redox quenchers at the polarizable water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface. Photocurrent responses originating from the heterogeneous quenching of photoexcited water soluble porphyri ...
A review (71 refs.). The nano-structured dye-sensitized solar cell (DNSC) is considered as a promising technol. having the potential to significantly decrease the costs of solar energy. The breakthrough was achieved in 1991 with the demonstration of a DNSC ...
