Dye-sensitized solar cells employing mesoporous TiO2 beads have demonstrated longer electron diffusion lengths and extended electron lifetimes over Degussa P25 titania electrodes due to the well interconnected, densely packed nanocrystalline TiO2 particles ...

The cost-effective processability and high efficiency of the organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown tremendous potential to intervene positively in the generation of clean energy. However, prior to an industrial scale-up pr ...

Hierarchical or one-dimensional architectures are among the most exciting developments in material science these recent years We present a nanostructured TiO2 assembly combining these two concepts and resembling a forest composed of individual, high aspect ...

The optoelectronic properties of transparent nanocrystalline TiO2 films were modified by the incorporation of a low level of Ga3+ or Y3+ cations. After optimizing their relative concentration level, we were able to increase in a noticeable manner the power ...

High bandgap semitransparent solar cells based on CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskites are attractive for building integration, tandem cells, and electrochemical applications. The lack of control of the CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite growth limit the exploitation of CH3NH3PbBr ...

The influence of interface modification of sensitized TiO2 surfaces by co-adsorbents on photovoltaic performance is detailed. We investigated different functional groups of co-adsorbents, such as carboxylic (4-guanidino butyric acid, chenodeoxycholic acid) ...

The synthesis of a series of novel organic photosensitizers based on modified triarylamine motives has been achieved. The new "push-pull" dyes, bearing one to three naphthyl units in place of phenyl rings, have been successfully obtained following original ...

We investigated CdSe-sensitized TiO2 solar cells by means of electrodeposition under galvanostatic control. The electrodeposition of CdSe within the mesoporous film of TiO2 gives rise to a uniform, thickness controlled, conformal layer of nanostructured Cd ...

We elaborated a new electrolyte composition, based on butyronitrile solvent, that exhibits low volatility for use in dye-sensitized solar cells. The strong point of this new class of electrolyte is that it combines high efficiency and excellent stability p ...

Employing a mesoscopic titania photoanode whose bilayer structure was judiciously selected to fit the optoelectronic characteristics of the Ru-based heteroleptic complex Na-cis-Ru(4,4'-(5-hexyltiophen-2-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine)(4-carboxylic-acid-4'-carboxylate ...

A fully conjugated unsymmetrical dimeric squaraine dye was synthesized. The synthetic key step for this dye, a selective Knoevenagel type condensation of end groups to the core moiety, allows the incorporation of a carboxylic acid function essentially for ...

In this paper, the pore filling of spiro-OMeTAD (2,2',7,7'-tetrakis-(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)9,9'-spirobifluorene) in mesoporous TiO2 film is quantified for the first time using XPS depth profiling and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. It is shown that s ...

Metal sulfide (PbS and CdS) quantum dots (QDs) were prepared over mesoporous TiO2 films by improved successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) processes. The as-prepared QD-sensitized electrodes were combined with a cobalt complex redox couple ...

Nanocrystalline anatase titanium dioxide powders were produced by a hydrothermal synthesis route in pure form and substituted with trivalent Ga3+ and Y3+ or pentavalent Nb5+ with the intention of creating acceptor or donor states, respectively. The electri ...

The optoelectronic properties of our benchmark nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 photoanode were modified by means of aliovalent doping with Nb5+. Even for a low doping level, the charge collection efficiency can be noticeably improved as a result of a higher e ...

A symmetric squaraine and its related non-symmetric structure are shown to have comparable efficiencies in DSCs, but with undoubtedly advantages in the low cost and casiness of synthesis for the symmetrical structure. ...
