Solid-state Solar Cells Sensitized with Indoline Dye

Chemistry Letters, 2007
Abstract A solid-state solar cell sensitized with an indoline dye is found to have an efficiency of 4.2%. This value is higher than that of similar cells sensitized with the N3 dye, indicating that organic dyes adsorbing strongly onto TiO2 and forming nonquenching aggregates are more suited for application in solid-state cells.

Solid‐State Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells Using a Novel Class of Ullazine Dyes as Sensitizers

Advanced Energy Materials, 2012
AbstractHere we present the photovoltaic performance of solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using a series of ullazine‐based metal‐free organic sensitizers and spiro‐MeOTAD as a hole‐transport material. A maximum of 4.95% power conversion efficiency measured under standard AM 1.5G illumination (100 mW cm−2) was achieved with the best ...

Dye-Sensitized Solid-State Heterojunction Solar Cells

MRS Bulletin, 2005
AbstractThe dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) provides a technically and economically viable alternative concept to present-day p–n junction photovoltaic devices. In contrast to conventional silicon systems, where the semiconductor assumes both the task of light absorption and charge carrier transport, these two functions are separated in DSSCs. The use

All-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells with high efficiency

Nature, 2012
Dye-sensitized solar cells based on titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) are promising low-cost alternatives to conventional solid-state photovoltaic devices based on materials such as Si, CdTe and CuIn(1-x)Ga(x)Se(2) (refs 1, 2). Despite offering relatively high conversion efficiencies for solar energy, typical dye-sensitized solar cells suffer from durability ...

Near-infrared sensitization of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells with a squaraine dye

Applied Physics Letters, 2012
Here, we report the use of a squaraine-based dye, JD10, as a near-infrared sensitizer for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs). Using spiro-MeOTAD as a hole-transport material, JD10 gave the highest reported power conversion efficiencies (PCE), 3.16% for squaraine-based ssDSCs.

Highly Efficient Solid‐State Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Triphenylamine Dyes

Advanced Functional Materials, 2011
AbstractTwo triphenylamine‐based metal‐free organic sensitizers, D35 with a single anchor group and M14 with two anchor groups, have been applied in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs) with a solid hole transporting material or liquid iodide/triiodide based electrolyte. Using the molecular hole conductor 2,2',7,7'‐tetrakis‐(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenyl‐amine)9,

Natural photosensitizers for solid-state dye sensitized solar cell

2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014), 2014
Natural dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been widely investigated as a next generation solar cell because of their simple structure and low manufacturing cost. In the present work betacyanin dye responsible for the red color of many fruits and leaves having favorable absorption spectra with the solar spectrum has been used in fabrication of solid

Optimization the solid-state electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells

Energy Environ. Sci., 2009
The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) as a low price photovoltaic technology has attracted widespread attention in recent years. During its progress to practical application, replacement of the liquid electrolytes by solid-state ones has been found to be necessary. Alternative solid-state electrolytes have thus been developed.

Optimizations of quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
In this paper we report on an attempt to substitute the liquid-electrolyte in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (LC) by quasi-solid-state constructions (SC) adopting organic/inorganic gels as well as a novel dye comprised of a conjugated polymer covalently linked to a ruthenium complex that can be bound to a TiO 2 anatase electrode.
