Co-sensitized solar cells have gained more attention due to the ability of energy conversion process by absorbing photons from wide range spectrum including visible and near-infrared region. TiO2 electrodes were co-sensitized with PbS/CdS core-shell quantum dots N719 dye. PbS/CdS/N719 dye-sensitized fabricated poly(ethylene oxide) based solid polymer electrolyte consisting iodide/triiodide redo...

We report herein lightweight, and economical dye-sensitized solar cells fabrication facilitated by an all plastic, metal free cathode consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene).

New donor–π–acceptor pyrimidine-based dyes comprising an amide moiety as anchoring group have been designed. The were synthesized by sequential procedures based on the microwave-assisted Suzuki cross-coupling and bromination reactions. influence of dye structure length π-linker photophysical electrochemical properties photovoltaic effectiveness dye-sensitized solar cells was investigated.

The past three decades have witnessed extensive research in developing a range of non-metallic fused heterocyclic organic dyes for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

Dye adsorption plays a crucial role in dye-sensitized solar cells. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ liquid-phase analytical technique to quantify in real time adsorption of dye and coadsorbates on flat and mesoporous TiO(2) films. For the first time, a molar ratio of co-adsorbed Y123 and chenodeoxycholic acid has been measured.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the promising photovoltaic (PV) technologies for applications requiring high aesthetic features combined with energy production such as building integration PV (BIPV). In this context, DSSCs have ability to be wavelength selective, thanks development new sensitizers by molecular engineering. The long history dye research has afforded technology differe...

In dye-sensitized solar cells co-photosensitized with an alkoxysilyl-anchor dye ADEKA-1 and a carboxy-anchor organic dye LEG4, LEG4 was revealed to work collaboratively by enhancing the electron injection from the light-excited dyes to the TiO2 electrodes, and the cells exhibited a high conversion efficiency of over 14% under one sun illumination.

This paper describes synthesis of In2S3 nanoparticles by sonochemistry method and their application to enhance solar cells performance which In2S3 nanoparticles work as co-sensitizer for the first time. In2S3 is a narrow band gap semiconductor (2 eV) with conduction band higher than TiO2. Therefore it can transfer electron to the conduction band of TiO2. The effect of different parameters such ...
