TL;DR: Three alkoxy-wrapped push-pull porphyrins were designed and synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications and Spectral, electrochemical, photovoltaic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties were well investigated to provide evidence for the molecular design.

TL;DR: An extensive investigation of the cathode energy equilibration of organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells provides a detailed picture of the evolution of the potentials in the bulk and the interface of the solar cell when forward voltage is applied or when photogeneration takes place.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of molecular oxygen on the performance of heterojunction solar cells, and showed that upon exposure to molecular oxygen both formation of P3HT+:O2− complex and metal oxidation at the interface between the active layer and metallic contact occur.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the properties determining the photovoltaic performance of DSC based on titanium dioxide nanorods prepared by a hydrothermal method, and they showed that coating TiO2 with Nb2O5 increases the photocurrent and conversion efficiency of the DSC.

TL;DR: In this article, the photovoltaic performance and charge recombination characteristics of porphyrin-based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) devices have been investigated using the impedance spectroscopy (IS) technique.
