چکیده
Organic dyes with long alkyl chains have been synthesized and demonstrated to be highly efficient sensitizers for liquid and quasi-solid-state solar cells, giving power conversion efficiencies of 8.31-8.39% and 7.03-7.31% under AM 1.5 G irradiation, respectively.

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...

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...
متن کاملApplication aspects of polymer electrolytes in solar cells
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have aroused intense interest owing to their easy fabrication, low cost, simple preparation procedures and high energy conversion efficiency. Considering the fact that leakage and volatilization of liquid electrolytes hinder their practical applications in the case of DSSCs, polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, excellent thermal and long-term sta...
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...
