Branched and bulky substituted ruthenium sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Aravind Kumar Chandiran

We report on the synthesis, and photovoltaic performances of four novel Ru(II)-bipyridine heteroteptic complexes TT206-209, incorporating branched and bulkier alkyl chains compared to their linear analogues C106 and CYC-B11 previously reported. In both ser ...

The Application of Electrospun Titania Nanofibers in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan, Aravind Kumar Chandiran

Titania nanofibers were fabricated using the industrial Nanospider (TM) technology. The preparative protocol was optimized by screening various precursor materials to get pure anatase nanofibers. Composite films were prepared by mixing a commercial paste o ...

Sub-nanometer Ga2O3 tunnelling layer by atomic layer deposition to achieve 1.1V open-circuit potential in dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Robin Humphry-Baker, Chenyi Yi, Aravind Kumar Chandiran, Nicolas Tétreault

Herein, we present the first use of a gallium oxide tunnelling layer to significantly reduce electron recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). The sub-nanometer coating is achieved using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and leading to a new DSC reco ...
