High efficiency and stable solid-state fiber dye-sensitized solar cells obtained using TiO2 photoanodes enhanced with metal organic frameworks

MOFs in Emerging Solar Cells

“…Especially for the solid‐state fiber dye‐sensitized solar cells (SS‐Fs), the mixed material of MOF‐801 and TiO 2 was used as the photoanode. [ 77 ] The improvement in photovoltaic performance is attributed to the light scattering and the enhanced amount of adsorbed dye.…”

Mn(II) 3D Coordination Framework with Mixed 5-Aminoisophthalato and Pyridyl-isonicotinoyl Hydrazone Bridges: Structure, Electrical Conductivity, Anticancer Activity, and Drug Delivery

“…In the construction of organic–inorganic hybrid systems like CPs/MOFs, carboxylate, and amine/imine-N, bridging ligands play a central role in linking metal centers (M n + ) and creating diverse structural platforms of different dimensionalities (1D/2D/3D). , The presence of additional noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding, π···π) makes them durable and strong. Their architectural design is so meticulous that makes the material stable but sensitive to external stimuli (mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, field induction) and has ensured the applications in stimuli-responsive activities. − These materials serve as gas storage and separation systems, catalysts, charge transporters and capacitors, drug deliverers, light harvesters, etc. Normally, carboxylate-bridging ligands would not conduct electricity due to the presence of insulating C-centers while the presence of metal (even diamagnetic) knots controls the energy difference between valence and conduction bands and make them helpful for electrical communicators and/or semiconductors. − In the past few years, it has been explored that CPs are working as better electrical conductors and storage systems than conventional electrical devices.…”

“…Polymers and hybrid materials have established their multifaceted deliverable outcome-based properties to meet many challenges of the environment and the society − such as clean energy, ensuring health, zero-waste management, supply of hygienic water, and pollution-free air. A number of such materials are employed to fabricate energy-saving electronic devices. − Some of the external factors affect the stability and efficiency of such devices made up of organic polymers. − However, after the historic recognition of the coordination chemistry (Alfred Warner, Nobel prize in 1913), it extends the exploration in different branches of science. − Organic–inorganic hybrid compounds are such materials that show promising applications in diverse fields following SDG protocol. − The coordination polymers (CPs)/metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are such hybrid materials, and their importance is established for the well-being of civilization …”

Determination of the Optimum Values of the Natural Frequency of the Nanocomposite Multilayer Organic Solar Cell by using Basic Differential Evolution Optimization Algorithms

“…Kadam et al, [11] studied compositional dynamics of the electron transport layer (ZnO:PEIE) in P3HT:PC 61 BM organic solar cells. Kim et al, [12] elucidated the potential of MOF (metal-organic frameworks)integrated DSSCs (Solid-state fiber dye-sensitized solar cells) in the development of solar cell devices with efficiency comparable to or better than that of conventional solar cells. Li et al, [13] proposed Intrinsically inert hyperbranched interlayer for enhanced stability of organic solar cells.…”
