Application of azo dye as sensitizer in dye-sensitized solar cells

An azo dye used as photosensitizers in Dye-sensitized solar cells DSSCs. Azo dyes economically superior to organometallic dyes because they are color variation and cheap. The spectrophotometric evaluation of an azo dye in solution and on a TiO2 substrate show that the dye form J-aggregation on the nanostructured TiO2 substrate. Oxidation potential measurements for used azo dyes ensured an energ...

Synthesis and Application of Two Organic Dyes Based on Indoline in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

In this paper we sensitized two new organic days dye 1 and dye 2 based on thioindigo with phenothiazine as the electron donor group. We used acrylic acid and cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor anchoring group in dye 1 and dye 2 respectively. The proposed dyes were sensitized from phenothiazine as the starting material by standard reactions and characterized by different techniques such ...

Synthesis of TiO2 nanorods with a microwave assisted solvothermal method and their application as dye-sensitized solar cells

Inthiswork, Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures have beensynthesized via amicrowave assisted solvothermalmethod using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP),polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) in ethanol. The mole ratio ofPVP/AA was found to be critical in determining the morphology and crystal phaseof the final product. PVP/AA mole ratio varied from 1 up to 1...
