Investigation of dye regeneration kinetics in sensitized solar cells by scanning electrochemical microscopy.
Sensitizers are responsible for the light harvesting and the charge injection in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A fast dye-regeneration process is necessary to obtain highly efficient DSSC devices. Herein, dye-regeneration rates of two DSSC device types, that is, the reduction of immediately formed photo-oxidized sensitizers (ruthenium complex C106TBA and porphyrin LD14, k(ox)') by iodide ...
متن کاملMorphology-controllable 1D-3D nanostructured TiO2 bilayer photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Morphology-controlled bilayer TiO(2) nanostructures consisting of one-dimensional (1D) nanowire bottom arrays and a three-dimensional (3D) dendritic microsphere top layer were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. These novel 1D-3D bilayer photoanodes demonstrated the highest energy conversion efficiency of 7.2% for rutile TiO(2) dye-sensitized solar cells to date, with TiCl(4) post-t...
متن کاملCadmium-induced plant stress investigated by scanning electrochemical microscopy.
In vivo oxygen evolution above single stomata in Brassica juncea has been used to investigate, for the first time, the effect of Cd-induced stress as imaged by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). SECM images showed a clear stomatal structure-a pore, whose aperture is modulated by two guard cells, serving as the conduit for the oxygen produced. Lower stomatal density and larger stoma siz...
متن کاملEffect of Annealing Temperature on the Performances and Electrochemical Properties of TiO2 Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
The influences of thermal annealing on the microstructure, dy -ads rption, surface area, electrical properties and power conversion efficiency of well-crystallized TiO2 photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells have been systematically investigated. Although the heat treatment of TiO2 photoelectrodes at higher temperatures was found to result in an enhanced electron transport, it was accomp...
متن کاملNano-Structure Roughening on Poly(Lactic Acid)PLA Substrates: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Surface Morphology Characterization
Scanningelectron microscopy (SEM) has been utilized to examine the morphology and topography alterations in the surface of Poly(Lactic Acid)(PLA) fabrics due to UV/Ozoneirradiation. In the past decade, a growing attention in the usage of “Green Techniques” in industrial applications has been observed owing to many benefits such as low impurities and their relatively low cost to substitute th...
