Porphyrin-Sensitized Solar Cells with Cobalt (II/III)–Based Redox Electrolyte Exceed 12 Percent Efficiency

TL;DR: In this article, a Co(II/III)tris(bipyridyl)-based redox electrolyte was used in conjunction with a custom synthesized donor-π-bridge-acceptor zinc porphyrin dye as sensitizer (designated YD2-o-C8).
Book

Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

TL;DR: The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) as discussed by the authors provides a technically and economically credible alternative concept to present day p-n junction photovoltaic devices, where light is absorbed by a sensitizer, which is anchored to the surface of a wide band semiconductor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrophobic, Highly Conductive Ambient-Temperature Molten Salts

TL;DR: New, hydrophobic ionic liquids with low melting points (<−30 °C to ambient temperature) have been synthesized and investigated, based on 1,3-dialkyl imidazolium cations and hydrophilic anions and thus water-soluble.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dye-sensitized solar cells with 13% efficiency achieved through the molecular engineering of porphyrin sensitizers

TL;DR: A molecularly engineered porphyrin dye is reported, coded SM315, which features the prototypical structure of a donor-π-bridge-acceptor and both maximizes electrolyte compatibility and improves light-harvesting properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cesium-containing triple cation perovskite solar cells: improved stability, reproducibility and high efficiency

TL;DR: In this paper, the triple cation perovskite photovoltaics with inorganic cesium were shown to be thermally more stable, contain less phase impurities and are less sensitive to processing conditions.
