Effect of Chaotropes on the Transfer of Ions and Dyes across the Liquid–Liquid Interface

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

Chaotropes such as urea can break the structure of water, weakening the hydrophobic effect and reducing aggregation. Here, we investigated how the addition of urea affects the transfer of ions and cationic dyes across the interface between immiscible elect ...

Molecular Engineering of Organic Dyes for Improved Recombination Lifetime in Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Thomas Moehl, Julian Burschka

A major limitation of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells is a short electron diffusion length, which is due to fast recombination between electrons in the TiO2 electron-transporting layer and holes in the 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine) ...
