State selective electron injection in non-aggregated titanium phthalocyanine sensitised nanocrystalline TiO2 films.

چکیده
We describe a novel titanium phthalocyanine that shows no aggregation when anchored to nanocrystalline TiO2 films through its axial carboxylated ligand without the use of co-adsorbents; state selective electron injection into the TiO2 is demonstrated, resulting in efficient photocurrent generation in dye sensitised photoelectrochemical solar cells.

متن کاملLaser-induced electron transfer desorption/ionization of metal complexes on TiO2 films
Thin titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were studied as ion emitters for the laser-induced electron transfer desorption/ionization (LETDI) of metal complexes with organic reagents. The TiO2 films (350 nm thick) were deposited on the silicon substrates by e-beam evaporation of TiO2 powder. Copper complex with phthalocyanine, rhenium complex with thiocarbanilide and platinum complex with 8-quinolineth...

A photoelectrochemical solar cell that is based on the dye-sensitization of thin nanocrystalline films of TiO2 (anatase) nanoparticles in contact with a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte is described. The cell, fabricated at NREL, shows a conversion efficiency of -9.2% at AM1.5, which approaches the best reported value of 10%-11% by Grätzel at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. The femtosecond (fs) pu...

In this paper the influence of material composition on the structural, surface and optical properties of HfO2-TiO2 mixed oxide coatings was investigated and discussed. Five sets of thin films were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering: HfO2, TiO2 and three sets of mixed HfO2-TiO2 coatings with various titanium content. The change in the material composition had a significant influence o...
متن کاملCrystallization behavior of TiO2 thin films
Thin films of titanium dioxide (TiO2) have attracted considerable attention in the past few years, since nanocrystalline TiO2 shows outstanding properties and has widespread application potential.
