A distinguishable photovoltaic performance on dye-sensitized solar cells using ruthenium sensitizers with a pair of isomeric ancillary ligands.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pair of isomeric ruthenium sensitizers BM1 and BM2, having TIP based ancillary ligands with a 9-phenylcarbazole tail at the α or β position of the thiophene unit, shows a distinguishable photovoltaic performance on DSCs (PCEs: 7.33% and 5.33% for BM1 and BM2 as compared with 6.07% for the standard N3-dye).

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...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been explored for more than a decade for realistic photovoltaic applications owing to their high conversion efficiency and low cost. Molecular engineering of the sensitizers to achieve high photovoltaic performance and long-term device stability is one of the critical strategies. Since the first high-efficiency ruthenium-based sensitizer, cis-di(thiocyanat...
متن کاملInfluence of nanostructured TiO2 film thickness on photoelectrode structure and performance of flexible Dye- Sensitized Solar Cells
A commercial Ti-Nanoxide was deposited on In-doped SnO2 (ITO) polymer substrates by tape casting technique with different thicknesses (7, 14 and 36μm) to be used as photoelectrode in flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Ruthenium dye was adsorbed on each TiO2 film for 24 h. The resulting photoelectrodes were used to form flexible DSSCs in combination with...
متن کاملA ruthenium complex with superhigh light-harvesting capacity for dye-sensitized solar cells.
A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using Ru complexes as a photosensitizer was first reported by O Regan and Gr"tzel in 1991. The low-cost, easy preparation make DSSC one of the most promising photovoltaic cells for conversion of sunlight to electricity. Numerous sensitizers have been prepared, and their performance has been tested. A conversion efficiency of up to 11% was achieved by using cis...
