Improved performance of porphyrin-based dye sensitised solar cells by phosphinic acid surface treatment [PDF]
Chemical surface treatment of porphyrin-sensitised titania films using bis-(4-methoxyphenyl) phosphinic acid after dye adsorption, results in large improvements in DSSC efficiencies which originate primarily from higher short circuit currents. The result

Photothermal Transport for Guiding Nanoparticles Through the Vitreous Humor
Nanosecond laser irradiation of the clinically approved dye indocyanine green (ICG) enables light‐guided nanoparticle transport within the vitreous humor. The combined use of ICG and pulsed laser illumination induces localized convection and thermophoresis, directing particles toward illuminated regions.

Copper Contact for Perovskite Solar Cells: Properties, Interfaces, and Scalable Integration
Copper electrodes, as low‐cost, scalable contacts for perovskite solar cells, offer several advantages over precious metals such as Au and Ag, including performance, cost, deposition methods, and interfacial engineering. Copper (Cu) electrodes are increasingly considered practical, sustainable alternatives to noble‐metal contacts in perovskite solar ...

Photoinstability of Aryl‐Functionalized Perylene Bisimides at Bay Positions in Ambient Environment
Aryl‐functionalized perylene bisimides (PBIs) bearing electron‐withdrawing groups (EWGs) at bay positions undergo spontaneous color change upon light exposure in dilute solutions. Although the spectral evolution resembles aggregation, detailed analysis confirms a photoinduced dehydrogenation as the underlying mechanism. Dye molecules are widely used as
