Anthocyanins and betalains as light-harvesting pigments for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jun Ho Yum, Alessandro Sinopoli

We present the photoelectrochemical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells using natural pigments containing betalains and anthocyanins as sensitizers. The dyes extracted from grape, mulberry, blackberry, red Sicilian orange, Sicilian prickly pear, eggpl ...

A ratiometric fluorescence sensor for caffeine

Kay Severin, Albert Ruggi, Nicolas Luisier, Nicolas David Gaeng, Laurane Favre

The dye disodium 3,4:3’,4’-bibenzo[b]thiophene-2,2’-disulfonate can be used as molecular probe for the fluorimetric detection of caffeine in aqueous solution. The fluorescence response is attributed to non-covalent interactions of caffeine with the dye in ...

Phenoxazine dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells: relationship between molecular structure and electron lifetime

Xiaoqing Jiang, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

A series of metal-free organic dyes with a core phenoxazine chromophore have been synthesized and tested as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. Overall conversion efficiencies of 6.03-7.40% were reached under standard AM 1.5G illumination at a ligh ...

A Double-Band Tandem Organic Dye-sensitized Solar Cell with an Efficiency of 11.5 %

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Yan Hao

The absorption spectra of most org. dyes reported thus far used for mesoporous nanostructured dye-sensitized solar cells mainly cover the visible-light region. This has motivated research towards the development of new types of org. dyes(7-10) with absorpt ...

High-voltage (1.8 V) tandem solar cell system using a GaAs/AlXGa(1-X)As graded solar cell and dye-sensitised solar cells with organic dyes having different absorption spectra

Michael Graetzel, Jun Ho Yum, Paul Liska, Péter Kalman Péchy, Pascal Comte

Stacked multijunction (tandem) solar cells have been prepared by mechanically stacking dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) and a GaAs/AlXGa(1-X)As graded solar cell (GGC) as the top and bottom cells, respectively. Three organic dyes with different absorption ...

On the Applicability of Oil and Dye Technique During the Design Phase and Operation of Experimental Rigs

Alexandros Terzis

In this paper, an oil and dye flow visualization technique applied in two different cases of experimental testing is described, namely a single fan in crossflow and the wake of a compressor cascade. In both cases, the mixture of paint was prepared using a ...

Dynamics of Electron Transfer Processes at the Surface of Dye-Sensitized Mesoporous Semiconductor Films

Joël Teuscher

Electron transfer reactions taking place at the surface of dye-sensitized semiconductors are key processes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). After light absorption, the excited state of a dye injects an electron into a wide-bandgap semiconductor, usua ...

Strategies to Optimizing Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Sophie Wenger

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) constitute a novel class of hybrid organic-inorganic solar cells. At the heart of the device is a mesoporous film of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, which are coated with a monolayer of dye sensitive to the visible ...

Molecular Design of Anthracene-Bridged Metal-Free Organic Dyes for Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Chao Yang, Ming Cheng

Metal-free org. dyes bridged by anthracene-contg. π-conjugations were designed and synthesized as new chromophores for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Studies on the relation between the dye structure, photophys. properties, electrochem. properties and ...
