Insight into D-A-π-A Structured Sensitizers: A Promising Route to Highly Efficient and Stable Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

TL;DR: The basic principles are involved in molecular engineering of efficient D-A-π-A sensitizers, providing a clear road map showing how to modulate the energy bands, rationally extending the response wavelength, and optimizing photovoltaic efficiency step by step.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dye Dependent Regeneration Dynamics in Dye Sensitized Nanocrystalline Solar Cells: Evidence for the Formation of a Ruthenium Bipyridyl Cation/Iodide Intermediate

TL;DR: In this paper, a transient absorption study of the kinetics of re-reduction of ruthenium bipyridyl dye cations adsorbed to nanocrystalline TiO2 films by iodide ions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regenerative PbS and CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells with a cobalt complex as hole mediator.

TL;DR: The cobalt complex herein used as a regenerative redox couple was found to be more efficient in generating photocurrents from PbS QD cells than the typical hole scavenger Na2S in a three-electrode configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tailored Amphiphilic Molecular Mitigators for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells with 23.5% Efficiency

TL;DR: It is found that simple surface treatment with tBBAI significantly accelerates the charge extraction from the perovskite into the spiro-OMeTAD hole-transporter, while retarding the nonradiative charge carrier recombination, boosting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the PSC and reducing the hysteresis to barely detectable levels.
BookDOI

Photosensitization and photocatalysis using inorganic and organometallic compounds

TL;DR: A.K. Kalyanasundaram et al. as discussed by the authors discuss the evolution of Inorganic and Organometallic Photochemistry and their application in photoelectrochemical cells.
