Biosynthesized Zn-doped C. roseus has been successfully prepared by using a simple photo induced method. The green Zn-doped C. roseus nanoparticles showed moderate anti-diabetic activity.
In this study, we designed perylene-based organic dye for D-π-A architecture. First, screening the well electron-rich and electron-deficient donor and π-spacer group for efficient dye sensitizer for DSSCs have been simulated using DFT and TD-DFT methods. The theoretical results have shown that the LUMO and HOMO energy levels of the design dyes can ensure a positive effect on the process of electron injection and dye regeneration. The main factors of short-circuit current density influence the light harvesting efficiency and the electron injection rate. On the other hand, electron dipole moment is controlled by the open circuit photovoltage, which improves higher-efficiency photovoltaic devices. The calculated results of the design dye reveal that dye D3 can be used as a potential sensitizer for DSSCs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
