Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, characterization, and DFT-TDDFT computational study of a ruthenium complex containing a functionalized tetradentate ligand
Claudia Barolo,Md. K. Nazeeruddin,Simona Fantacci,D. Di Censo,Pascal Comte,Paul Liska,G. Viscardi,Pierluigi Quagliotto,F. De Angelis,Seigo Ito,Michael Grätzel +10 more
TL;DR: From the analysis of the computed optical transitions of N886, its absorption bands are assigned as mixed Ru/SCN-to-quaterpyridine charge-transfer transitions, which extend from the near-IR to the UV regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphiphilic Ruthenium Sensitizers and Their Applications in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
TL;DR: All the ligands and the complexes were characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical techniques and the performance of these complexes as charge-transfer photosensitizers in nanocrystalline TiO(2)-based solar cells was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular design of metal-free D–π-A substituted sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
Leila Alibabaei,Jong-Hyung Kim,Mingkui Wang,Nuttapol Pootrakulchote,Joël Teuscher,D. Di Censo,Robin Humphry-Baker,Jacques-E. Moser,Yong-Jae Yu,Kwang-Yol Kay,Shaik M. Zakeeruddin,Michael Grätzel +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, donor-πacceptor (D-π-A) dyes, coded as SD-1, SD-2 and SD-5, were designed and synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Panchromatic symmetrical squaraines: a step forward in the molecular engineering of low cost blue-greenish sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells.
