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...

Efficient electron transfer and sensitizer regeneration in stable pi-extended tetrathiafulvalene-sensitized solar cells.

The development of metal-free organic sensitizers is a key issue in dye-sensitized solar cell research. We report successful photovoltaic conversion with a new class of stable tetrathiafulvalene derivatives, showing surprising electrochemical and kinetic properties. With time-resolved spectroscopy we could observe highly efficient regeneration of the photo-oxidized tetrathiafulvalene sensitizer...

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...

Investigation of Photovoltaic Properties of 1,8-Naphthalimide Dyes in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

In this paper we selected two metal-free dyes (Dye 1 and Dye 2) based on 1,8-naphthalimide. The proposed dyes were sensitized from acenaphthene as the starting material by standard reactions. Spectrophotometric measurements of the organic dyes in DMF and on TiO2 substrate were carried out in order to assess changes in the status of the dyes. Maximum absorption wavelengths for Dye...
