Journal ArticleDOI
A dye-sensitized nano-porous solid-state photovoltaic cell
Kirthi Tennakone,G.R.R.A. Kumara,A.R. Kumarasinghe,K.G.U. Wijayantha,Prasad Manjusr Sirimanne +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photovoltaic cell was fabricated by sandwiching a monolayer of the pigment cyanidin adsorbed on nano-porous n-TiO2 film (deposited on conducting tin oxide glass) within a transparent polycrystalline film of p-CuI, filling the intercrystallite pores.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cell made from oxides of tin and zinc
TL;DR: In this paper, a photoelectrochemical solar cell made from a porous film consisting of a mixture of tin (IV) and zinc oxides sensitized with a ruthenium bipyridyl complex suppresses recombination of the photogenerated electrons and dye cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dye-Sensitized Solid-State Solar Cells: Use of Crystal Growth Inhibitors for Deposition of the Hole Collector
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of dye-sensitized solid-state cells based on CuI was improved by depositing CuI on dyed nanoporous TiO2 films from a solution containing a crystal growth inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dye-sensitized solar cell with the hole collector p-CuSCN deposited from a solution in n-propyl sulphide
G.R.R.A. Kumara,A Konno,G.K.R. Senadeera,P.V.V. Jayaweera,D. B. R. A. De Silva,Kirthi Tennakone +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the deposition of CuSCN on ruthenium bipyridyl dye coated nanocrystalline TiO2 films from a solution in n-propyl sulphide was devised.
Journal ArticleDOI
A solid-state photovoltaic cell sensitized with a ruthenium bipyridyl complex
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that cis-dithiocyanate-bis(2,2-bipyridyl-4,4-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) can be used as a sensitizer in a solid-state photovoltaic cell in which a monolayer of the sensitizers is sandwiched between nano-porous n- and p-CuI.
