Acid azo dyes for efficient molecular photovoltaic: study of dye-sensitized solar cells performance
In this paper we sensitized three free-metal azo days Dye 1, Dye 2 and Dye 3 based on 1,8-naphthalimide with n-propyl as the electron donor group. We used sulfonic acid and hydroxyl substituents as the electron acceptor anchoring group in synthesized dyes. The proposed dyes were sensitized from acenaphthene as the starting material by standard reactions and characterized by different techniques...
متن کاملFacile Fabrication of Co3O4 Nanostructures as an Effective Photocatalyst for Degradation and Removal of Organic Contaminants
Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple Co-precipitation reaction between precursors of cobalt and NH3. The effect of different parameters such as concentration of NH3 and precursors of cobalt on the size and photocatalytic activity of the products was investigated. The achieved nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, field emission scanning electron mic...
متن کاملAuto combustion synthesis using grapefruit extract: photocatalyst and magnetic MgFe2O4-PbS nanocomposites
Magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) as a core magnetic nanostructure was synthesized via auto combustion method by using grapefruit extract as a biocompatible and cost-effective material. Then flower and star-like PbS were synthesized using thioglycolic acid as a sulfur source without using any chemical template. After that for preparation of magnetic and photocatalyst MgFe2O4-PbS nanocomposites, lead ...
متن کاملApplication 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...
