The internal transport and recombination parameters of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs) using the amorphous organic semiconductor 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobtfluorene (spiro-MeOTAD) as a hole transport materia ...

A new D-pi-A organic dye, LC-5, containing 4,9-dihydro-4,4,9,9-tetrahexyl-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b']-dithiophene as a novel pi-conjugated spacer has been synthesized and tested as a sensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). Volatile and ionic liquid el ...

Four organic donor–π-bridge–acceptor dyes containing phenothiazine as a spacer and cyanoacrylic acid as an acceptor were synthesized and tested as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The influence of iodide- and cobalt-based redox electrolyte ...

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted attention as successful light harvesting materials for mesoscopic solid-state solar cells and led to record breaking efficiencies. The photovoltaic performance of these devices is greatly dependent on the ...

Sunlight-driven CO2 reduction is a promising way to close the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Integrating light harvester and electrocatalyst functions into a single photo electrode, which converts solar energy and CO2 directly into reduced carbon species, is ...

We present efficient perovskite solar cells using a mesoscopic TiO2/Al2O3/NiO/carbon structure as framework. The CH(3)NH(3)Pbl(3)-based device with quadruple-layer architecture achieves a power conversion efficiency of 15.03% under AM 1.5G illumination. De ...

Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid-[4-(3-tetradecylureido)phenyl]amide is an efficient gelator to solidify ionic liquid electrolytes. In this paper we apply this low molecular weight gelator to solidify the newly prepared sulfolane based ionic liquid electrolyte. ...

We have tested the photovoltaic metrics of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells over a wide temperature range from 80-360 K. Our investigation reveals that the open-circuit voltage reaches a maximum value at about 200 K close to the phase transition from tetr ...

A series of simple metal-free organic dyes MS1-MS3 have been designed and synthesized, and their optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties were investigated. The molecular structures are based on a push-pull framework with a triphenylamine, nap ...

In solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs), the poor pore filling of the mesoporous semiconductor and the short diffusion length of charge carriers, in the hole-transport material (HTM) have limited the mesoscopic titania layer to a thickness of 2- ...

The influence of some coadsorbents and different pH values on the efficiency of DSS cells assembled with phycocyanin was evaluated using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and electrochemical techniques as impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry ...

Cosensitization of broadly absorbing ruthenium metal complex dyes with highly absorptive near-infrared (NIR) organic dyes is a clear pathway to increase near-infrared light harvesting in liquid- based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). In cosensitized DSCs ...

Herein, we present a straightforward bottom-up synthesis of a high electron mobility and highly light scattering macroporous photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cells. The dense three-dimensional Al/ZnO, SnO2, or TiO2 host integrates a conformal passivatio ...

We report on solid-state mesoscopic heterojunction solar cells employing nanoparticles (NPs) of methyl ammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3)PbI3 as light harvesters. The perovskite NPs were produced by reaction of methylammonium iodide with PbI2 and deposited onto ...

An optimum amount of lead bromide (1%) can enhance the power conversion efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3-xBrx (where x approximate to 0) devices from 14.7% to 16.9% without altering the bandgap of the perovskite material. ...

The electrolyte is one of the key components for DSC and its properties have great influence on the photo-conversion efficiency and stability of the devices. Five new low volatile electrolytes containing 3-methoxypropionitrile (MPN) as solvent were prepare ...

We investigate two different types of TiO2 blocking layer (BL) deposition techniques commonly used in solid-state methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite (MaPbI(3))-based solar cells. Although these BLs lead to similar photovoltaic device performance, the ...

In this work we show that the rate-dependent hysteresis seen in current-voltage scans of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells is related to a slow field-induced process that tends to cancel the electric field in the device at each applied bias voltage. It is ...

A new heteroleptic ruthenium complex, coded CYC-B19, incorporating an ancillary ligand endowed with hexylthio-bithiophene segments and a conjugated anchoring ligand with vinyl groups was prepared. This new sensitizer exhibits a lower energy MLCT band centr ...
