“…Also, di-2-pyridyl ketone benzoyl hydrazone (dpkbh) is widely used as a sensitive analytical reagent for the determination of trace amounts of metal ions in solutions [5,6]. Recently hydrazone-based molecular glasses for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells have been obtained [7].…”

“…Replacement of the liquid electrolyte by a solid one (in practice by an organic polymer) can eliminate leakage of electrolyte by DS(S)C [56,57]. However, the polymeric electrolytes may be subject to relatively rapid degradation mediated by TiO 2 , when there is intrusion of oxygen and water [15,58].…”

“…Addition of radical scavengers may limit such degradation [59]. Moreover, the solar radiation to electricity conversion efficiency tends to be reduced when the liquid polymer is substituted by a solid polymer [56,57]. Another option is the use of a semi-solid state gel as electrolyte.…”

You will be contacted as soon as possible. a b s t r a c tThough environmental improvement has been claimed for the application of nanotechnology to solar cells, several characteristics of the fullerene-based organic, and the dye-sensitized nanoparticulate, solar cell are not conducive to such improvement. These include relatively high energy and materials inputs in the production of nanoparticles, a relatively low solar radiation to electricity conversion efficiency, a relatively short service life, the use of relatively scarce metals and relatively poor recyclability, if compared with the multicrystalline Si solar cell which currently is the market leader. Moreover, the lack of data and the inability of current methods to handle hazards of nanoparticles generate problems in conducting comparative life cycle assessment of nanoparticulate solar cells. So far, the claimed environmental advantage can not be substantiated for fullerene-based and dye-sensitized nanoparticulate solar cells. There are options for the environmental improvement of these nanoparticulate solar cells, but actual development does not seem to focus on environmental improvement.

“…Another strategy is the use of polymers with polar side‐groups: in the case of solid dye‐sensitized solar cells, inert polymers of high molecular weight successfully infiltrate into micrometer‐thick nanocrystalline TiO 2 films, apparently aided by the affinity between the polar polymer units and the polar TiO 2 surface 97. Instead of P3HT as hole transporter, conjugated molecules as molecular glasses could be used to be inserted in sensitized TiO 2 pores 98, 99…”

For plastic (opto)electronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photovoltaic (PV) cells and field-effect transistors (FETs), the processes of charge (hole/electron) injection, charge transport, charge recombination (exciton formation), charge separation (exciton diffusion and dissociation) and charge collection are critical to enhance their performance. Most of these processes are relevant to nanoscale and interfacial phenomena. In this review, we highlight the state-of-the-art developments of interface-tailored and nanoengineered polymeric materials to optimize the performance of (opto)electronic devices. These include (1) interfacial engineering of anode and cathode for polymer LEDs; (2) nanoengineered (C 60 and inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles) π -conjugated polymeric materials for PV cells; and (3) polymer and monolayer dielectrics/interfaces for FETs and light-emitting and nano-FETs.
