Journal ArticleDOI

Novel ethynyl-pyrene substituted phenothiazine based metal free organic dyes in DSSC with 12% conversion efficiency

TL;DR: In this article, six new dyes based on phenothiazine conjugated to an ethynyl-pyrene moiety were synthesized and characterized, and they were fabricated using these dyes with and without a co-adsorbent, chenodeoxychloicacid.

Novel catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells

TL;DR: In this paper, a carbon-metal-nitrogen oxygen reducing cathode catalyst is proposed, which consists of mixing a carbon source with a transition metal precursor to form a metal precursor loaded carbon substrate, adding a nitrogen precursor compound to the metal precursor and pyrolyzing it in a closed vessel.
Journal ArticleDOI

A chitosan/poly(ethylene glycol)-ran-poly(propylene glycol) blend as an eco-benign separator and binder for quasi-solid-state supercapacitor applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used activated porous carbon (ACTS-900) derived from Tamarindus indica, a bio-source, via KOH activation and carbonization at 900°C was used as an active electrode material for supercapacitor (SC) applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cobalt-Based Coordination Polymer for Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

TL;DR: A new semiconductive and low-optical band gap CP structure, 1, is reported, that exhibits high-performance ORR in alkaline medium and can be used as a promising cathode material for fuel cells in terms of efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlling the Nitrogen Content of Metal-Nitrogen-Carbon Based Non-Precious-Metal Electrocatalysts via Selenium Addition

TL;DR: In this paper, selenium was used as a ligand to replace the nitrogen coordinated to the iron atom in the electrocatalyst, thereby imparting control on the nitrogen content.
