Control of dark current in photoelectrochemical (TiO₂/I⁻–I₃⁻) and dye-sensitized solar cells

The ruthenium complex bis-tetrabutylammonium cis-dithiocyanato-N,N9-bis-2,29-bipyridine-4-carboxylic acid, 49-carboxylate ruthenium(II), N-719, was found to block the dark current of dye sensitized solar cells (DSC), based on mesoporous TiO2 films deposited on a F-doped tin oxide electrode and the effect was compared to surface treatment by TiCl4 and the introduction of a compact TiO2 blocking ...

A Crossed Beam and ab Initio Investigation on the Formation of Boronyldiacetylene (HCCCC¹¹BO; <italic>X</italic>¹⁺) via the Reaction of the Boron Monoxide Radical (¹¹BO; <italic>X</italic>²⁺) with Diacetylene (C₄H₂; <italic>X</italic>¹_g⁺)

The reaction dynamics of the boron monoxide radical (BO; XΣ) with diacetylene (C4H2; XΣg) were investigated at a nominal collision energy of 17.5 kJ mol−1 employing the crossed molecular beam technique and supported by ab initio and statistical (RRKM) calculations. The reaction is governed by indirect (complex forming) scattering dynamics with the boron monoxide radical adding with its boron at...

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Study of Ion Annihilation Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Rubrene and [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used for the study of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) in the radical annihilation mode. The concurrent steady-state generation of radical ions in the microgap formed between a SECM probe and a transparent microsubstrate provides a distancedependent ECL signal that can provide information about the kinetics, stability, and mechanism of the ...

Precision Measurements of Aⁿ₁ in the Deep Inelastic Regime

Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Formation of the Elusive 2-Methyl-1-silacycloprop-2-enylidene Molecule under Single Collision Conditions via Reactions of the Silylidyne Radical (SiH; X²Π) with Allene (H₂CCCH₂; X¹A₁) and D4-Allene (D₂CCCD₂; X¹A₁)

The crossed molecular beam reactions of the ground-state silylidyne radical (SiH; XΠ) with allene (H2CCCH2; XA1) and D4-allene (D2CCCD2; X A1) were carried out at collision energies of 30 kJ mol−1. Electronic structure calculations propose that the reaction of silylidyne with allene has no entrance barrier and is initiated by silylidyne addition to the π electron density of allene either to one...
