Dye Molecules for Simple Co‐Sensitization Process: Fabrication of Mixed‐Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Asymmetric zinc phthalocyanines with large steric hindrance as efficient red/near-IR responsive sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Ligand 1 and 3 were prepared according to the previous methods [9,10], while Ligand 2 was prepared as Scheme 3.…”

Co-sensitization of TiO 2 -MWCNTs hybrid anode for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Therefore, the co -sensitization strategy is applied to the organic dyes with complementary absorption spectra to obtain a broader and a more intense absorption band, thus increasing the performance of the DSSC [13][14][15]. Many co-sensitization systems have been proposed and demonstrated improved photovoltaic performance, such as ruthenium complex co-sensitized with an organic dye [16][17][18], porphyrin [19][20][21] or phtalocyanine [22][23][24] co-sensitized with an organic dye, and organic dye co-sensitized with another organic dye [25,26]. Another major cause of low efficiency of DSSCs is the recombination of injected electrons with the electrolyte (dark current) [27].…”

Synthesis of highly effective Pt/carbon fiber composite counter electrode catalyst for dye-sensitized solar cells

“…As a promising photovoltaic device, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have attracted more and more attention, because of the advantages simple preparation process, environmental friendliness and high theoretical power conversion efficiency (PCE) [1,2]. The structure of a typical DSCs system is comprised of a dye sensitized TiO 2 photoanode, a counter electrode (CE) and an electrolyte [3,4].…”
