研究目的
Investigating the synthesis, characterization, and application of ternary monocarboxyterpyridine-bipyridine-trimercaptotriazine ruthenium complexes in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to understand their photoelectrochemical properties and efficiency.
研究成果
The [RuII(mctpy)(dmbpy)(H2tmt)] complex showed potential as a photosensitizer for DSSCs but exhibited low efficiency due to charge recombination effects. The study provides insights into the limitations and potential improvements for this type of dye.
研究不足
The observed current density and open circuit voltage were rather small, leading to low efficiency for the assembled DSSCs. Charge recombination effects at the electrode surface were significant, especially with deprotonated groups in the tmt ligand.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of ruthenium complexes was based on a vectorial design for energy transfer in DSSCs. Theoretical models and algorithms were employed to understand the electronic structure and spectra.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The complexes were synthesized using commercial reagents and characterized using NMR, mass spectrometry, and spectrophotometric titration.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included a Hewlett-Packard spectrophotometer, Bruker NMR equipment, Esquire 3000 Plus Bruker Daltonics mass spectrometer, and Autolab PGStat30 for cyclic voltammetry.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved sequential steps starting from the monocarboxyterpyridine ligand, followed by the formation of ruthenium complexes. DSSCs were assembled and their performance was evaluated.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Spectrophotometric titration, cyclic voltammetry, and spectroelectrochemistry were used to analyze the properties of the complexes. Theoretical calculations were performed using the ZINDO-S semiempirical method.
