“…In this case, a further enhancement in π-conjugation led to increased molar extinction coefficients and improved performances. Similar complexes that bear donating groups on the terpyridine and electron withdrawing/grafting moieties on a bidentate ligand have been proposed by Mosurkal [103], Erten-Ela [104] and, more recently, by Mongal [105]. In the first case, the anchoring moiety was provided by 4,4’-dicarboxy-2,2’-bipyridine.…”

Terpyridine and quaterpyridine-based complexes allow wide light harvesting of the solar spectrum. Terpyridines, with respect to bipyridines, allow for achieving metal-complexes with lower band gaps in the metal-to-ligand transition (MLCT), thus providing a better absorption at lower energy wavelengths resulting in an enhancement of the solar light-harvesting ability. Despite the wider absorption of the first tricarboxylate terpyridyl ligand-based complex, Black Dye (BD), dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) performances are lower if compared with N719 or other optimized bipyridine-based complexes. To further improve BD performances several modifications have been carried out in recent years affecting each component of the complexes: terpyridines have been replaced by quaterpyridines; other metals were used instead of ruthenium, and thiocyanates have been replaced by different pinchers in order to achieve cyclometalated or heteroleptic complexes. The review provides a summary on design strategies, main synthetic routes, optical and photovoltaic properties of terpyridine and quaterpyridine ligands applied to photovoltaic, and focuses on n-type DSCs.

“…The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method is the stretching of chemical bath deposition (CBD), and cationic and anionic precursors are parted placed in two containers in this approach [4]. The oxide semiconductor of photoanode is dipped into the cationic precursor solution followed by rinsing and drying, and then it is dipped into the anionic precursor solution and completed with a final rinsing and drying [5]. This two-step dipping is regarded as one SILAR cycle.…”

Quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) has a potential high efficiency as the third generation solar cell, on account of the excellent performance of quantum dots. CdS is one of the most widely used quantum dot of QDSSCs, hence the optimization of its preparation process is extremely important. CdS quantum dots prepared in aqueous or alcohol on TiO2 film by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method are investigated and alcohol is found to be better than water as the precursor solvent.
