Radiation damage in biomimetic dye molecules for solar cells.
A significant obstacle to organic photovoltaics is radiation damage, either directly by photochemical reactions or indirectly via hot electrons. Such effects are investigated for biomimetic dye molecules for solar cells (phthalocyanines) and for a biological analog (the charge transfer protein cytochrome c). Both feature a central transition metal atom (or H(2)) surrounded by nitrogen atoms. So...
متن کاملBiological Dynamics; from molecules to cells
The Academy was founded in the early nineteenth century to promote learning in the Netherlands. In 1851 the 'Royal Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts', which had been in existence since 1808, became the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences', with two divisions: one for mathematics and the natural sciences and one for literary and historical scholarship. Based in the Trippenhuis i...
متن کاملWhy Flavins Are not Competitors of Chlorophyll in the Evolution of Biological Converters of Solar Energy
Excited flavin molecules can photocatalyze reactions, leading to the accumulation of free energy in the products, and the data accumulated through biochemical experiments and by modeling prebiological processes suggest that flavins were available in the earliest stages of evolution. Furthermore, model experiments have shown that abiogenic flavin conjugated with a polyamino acid matrix, a pigmen...
متن کاملFacile Hydrothermal Synthesis of Tellurium Nanostructures for Solar Cells
Tellurium (Te) nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal methodfrom the reaction of a TeCl4 aqueous solution with thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a reductant. TGA can be easily oxidized to the corresponding disulfide [SCH2CO2H]2, which in turn can reduce TeCl4 to Te. The obtained Te was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, and DRS. The effect of reducing agent on morphol...
متن کاملNatural chlorophyll-related porphyrins and chlorins for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Natural-chlorophyll-related porphyrins, including (2H, Zn, Cu)-protoporphyrin IX (Por-1) and Zn-mesoporphyrin IX (Por-2), and chlorins, including chlorin e₆ (Chl-1), chlorin e₄ (Chl-2), and rhodin G₇ (Chl-3), have been used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). For porphyrin sensitizers that have vinyl groups at the β-positions, zinc coordinated Por-1 gives the highest solar-energy-to-electric...
