Diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives for efficient NiO-based dye-sensitized solar cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two new diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) based sensitizers (DPP-Br, DPPCN2) and a novel dyad DPP-NDI (NDI = naphthalene diimide) were synthesized and investigated for use in NiO p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (p-DSCs). The simple push-pull DPP-CN2 gives a promising photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of 0.07% with the iodide/triiodide electrolyte while the PCE of the dyad reaches 0.18% with a cobalt complex as a redox shuttle.

Infra-red photoresponse of mesoscopic NiO-based solar cells sensitized with PbS quantum dot
Sensitized NiO based photocathode is a new field of investigation with increasing scientific interest in relation with the development of tandem dye-sensitized solar cells (photovoltaic) and dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthetic cells (solar fuel). We demonstrate herein that PbS quantum dots (QDs) represent promising inorganic sensitizers for NiO-based quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs)...
متن کاملAcid 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...
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...

متن کاملRecent development of carbon nanotubes materials as counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
Dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional Silicon (Si)-based solar cells. The counter electrode generally consists of Pt deposited onto FTO plate. Since Pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. Carbon nanotubes have shown significant properties such...
