چکیده
The hierarchical assembly of DSCs containing a new heteroleptic copper(I) complex with a phosphonic acid anchoring ligand is described; it is shown that conventional I(-)/I3(-) electrolytes may be replaced by [Co(bpy)3](2+/3+) with no loss in performance.

A Significant Improvement in the Electrocatalytic Stability of N-Doped Graphene Nanosheets Used as a Counter Electrode for [Co(bpy)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>3+/2+</sup> Based Porphyrin-Sensitized Solar Cells
A significant improvement in efficiency is achieved for porphyrin (YD2-o-C8) based dye-sensitized solar cells, coupled with [Co(bpy)3] 3+/2+ mediator electrolyte. However, the poison of the counter electrode (CE) by the [Co(bpy)3] 3+/2+ mediator remains a significant barrier to producing a reliable high-performance device. In this paper, nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets (NG) are produced usin...
متن کاملBlue-Coloured Highly Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Implementing the Diketopyrrolopyrrole Chromophore
The paradigm shift in dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs) - towards donor- π bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) dyes - increases the performances of DSCs and challenges established design principles. Framed by this shifting landscape, a series of four diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based sensitizers utilizing the donor-chromophore-anchor (D-C-A) motif were investigated computationally, spectroscopically, and fa...
متن کاملA cobalt complex redox shuttle for dye-sensitized solar cells with high open-circuit potentials
Dye-sensitized solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional inorganic semiconductor-based solar cells. Here we report an open-circuit voltage of over 1,000 mV in mesoscopic dye-sensitized solar cells incorporating a molecularly engineered cobalt complex as redox mediator. Cobalt complexes have negligible absorption in the visible region of the solar spectrum, and their redox propertie...
متن کاملEffect of Hydroquinone Dderivatives in Electrolytes on Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Performance
New kinds of hydroquinone derivatives were synthesized and along with a azo dye applied as additives in the iodide/iodine redox electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells and their effect on the short-circuit photocurrent of dye sensitized solar cells was investigated. Addition of 0.05 M a hydroquinone derivative in the electrolyte comprising 0.5 M 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (MPII) and...
متن کاملInvestigation 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 ...
