Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the counter electrode on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells using a disulfide/thiolate redox electrolyte

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different counter electrode materials on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells employing disulfide/thiolate-based redox electrolyte has been systematically studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochromic devices based on surface-modified nanocrystalline TiO2 thin-film electrodes

TL;DR: In this article, a cone-shaped trimeric arborol-type viologen was prepared with the intention to fill out the space above the convex surface of the nanoparticles particularly well.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular photovoltaics that mimic photosynthesis

TL;DR: In this article, a photo-voltaic cell based on molecular light absorbers and mesoporous electrodes was developed, and the certified overall power conversion efficiency of the new solar cell for standard air mass 1.5 solar radiation stands presently between 10 and 11.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Assembled Monolayers as Interfaces for Organic Opto-electronic Devices

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-assembled monolayer of functionalized molecules grafted on an organic semiconductor electrode is used to reduce the Schottky barrier between the conductive electrode and the organic semiconductors.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Molar Extinction Coefficient Organic Sensitizers for Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

TL;DR: Solar-cell devices based on the sensitizer JK-113 in conjunction with a volatile electrolyte and a solvent-free ionic liquid electrolyte gave high conversion efficiencies of 9.1% and 7.9%, respectively.
