Abstract:

To model the active layer in the hetero-junction solar cells, the C60, C70, PC60BM, PCBDAN fullerenes as acceptor, and (OS)n=1) oligoselenophenes as donor were considered. The (OS)n=14/C60, (OS)n=14/C70, (OS)n=14/PC60BM, and (OS)n=14/PCBDAN blends as a model of the active layer in the BHJ solar cell were chosen, and the optoelectronic properties were studied. The calculated efficiency of these complexes based on the Scharber diagram is 8%, 8.2%, 9.3%, and 9.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the (OS)n=14/PCBDAN blend is a favorable candidate as solar cell than that of the other blends. In order to investigate the effect of the chain length of oligomers on the solar cell properties, the optoelectronic properties of (OS)n=12/C60 blend was also studied. The electronic and optical properties and the calculated efficiency values of (OS)n=12/C60 and (OS)n=14/C60 (7.7% and 8% respectively) show that the (OS)n=14/C60 complex is more suitable candidate than the (OS)n=12/C60 complex for modeling the active layer in the BHJ solar cells.

Synthesis and Investigation of Photovoltaic Properties of New Organic Dye in Solar Cells Device

In this paper, we designed and synthesized free-metal dyes based on indoline. The proposed dyes were synthesized from phenothiazine as the starting material by standard reactions. The chemical structure of the synthesized dye was confirmed using FT-IR, 1HNMR and DSC techniques. Spectrophotometric measurements of the organic dyes in acetonitrile and on a TiO2 substrate ...

some properties of fuzzy hilbert spaces and norm of operators

in this thesis, at first we investigate the bounded inverse theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces and study the set of all compact operators on these spaces. then we introduce the notions of fuzzy boundedness and investigate a new norm operators and the relationship between continuity and boundedness. and, we show that the space of all fuzzy bounded operators is complete. finally, we define...

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...
