Hybrid solar cells
Historically, conventional solar cells were built from inorganic materials such as silicon. Although the efficiency of such conventional solar cells is high, very expensive materials and energy intensive processing techniques are required. Hybrid and photoelectrochemical (dye sensitized) solar cells have been the cheap alternatives for conventional silicon solar cells. A hybrid solar cell consi...
متن کاملHybrid nanorod-polymer solar cells.
We demonstrate that semiconductor nanorods can be used to fabricate readily processed and efficient hybrid solar cells together with polymers. By controlling nanorod length, we can change the distance on which electrons are transported directly through the thin film device. Tuning the band gap by altering the nanorod radius enabled us to optimize the overlap between the absorption spectrum of t...
متن کاملLigand Engineering for the Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Ruthenium Sensitizers and Cobalt Electrolytes.
Over the past 20 years, ruthenium(II)-based dyes have played a pivotal role in turning dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) into a mature technology for the third generation of photovoltaics. However, the classic I3(-)/I(-) redox couple limits the performance and application of this technique. Simply replacing the iodine-based redox couple by new types like cobalt(3+/2+) complexes was not successf...
متن کاملHigh efficiency hybrid solar cells using post-deposition ligand exchange by monothiols.
High-performance hybrid solar cells (HSCs) based on P3HT : CdSe QD blends are achieved through post-deposition ligand exchange by n-butanethiol (n-BT) with a high power conversion efficiency of 3.09%. The mechanism by which n-BT modifies the surface structures of CdSe QDs and thus improves the HSCs performance is investigated.
متن کاملBinuclear Complex of Zinc and Copper with Unsymmetrical Macrocyclic Ligand as Sensitizer in Nanocrystaline TiO2 Solar Cells
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are considered as one of the most promising alternativerenewable energy sources. In the structure of DSSCs, a photosensitizer composed of transitionmetal complexes is used to harvest light. In this work a binuclear complex containing twopropionitrile pendant arms [ZnLCu(OAC)]PF6 {L = 1, 6- bis (2-cyanoethyl) -2, 5-bis (2-hydroxy3-formyl-5-methylbenzyl)-2, 5- d...
