Influence of 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide ionic liquid on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell using hexanoyl chitosan/poly(vinyl chloride) based polymer electrolyte
摘要： Polymer electrolytes based on hexanoyl chitosan/poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were prepared by employing sodium iodide (NaI) as the doping salt and 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (MPImI) as the ionic liquid. The concentration of MPImI was varied from 2 to 10 wt.% while the amount of polymer and salt were kept constant. The effect of MPImI on the crystallinity, structural and conductivity properties of hexanoyl chitosan/PVC-NaI have been investigated. XRD results show that MPImI disrupts the crystallinity of polymer matrix while FTIR results show the existence of interactions among components in hexanoyl chitosan/PVC-NaI-MPImI. Polymer electrolyte without MPImI shows the highest conductivity of 1.5 × 10?5 S cm?1 at 303 K. Upon incorporation of MPImI, increment in conductivity can be observed. The hexanoyl chitosan/PVC-NaI-MPImI electrolytes were assembled into dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and the dependence of DSSCs performance on MPImI concentration has been investigated. DSSC with 8 wt.% of MPImI shows the energy conversion efficiency, η of 4.55 % with short circuit current density, Jsc of 10.34 mA cm?2 and open circuit voltage, Voc of 0.74 V.

Porous membrane of polyindole and polymeric ionic liquid incorporated PMMA for efficient quasi-solid state dye sensitized solar cell
摘要： Stable and efficient electrolyte for effective solar energy conversion is a persistent aim of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). In this work, a novel honeycomb-like porous membrane (PMMA/PIL/PIN) based quasi-solid state (QSS) electrolyte was prepared by using the mixtures of synthesized polyindole (PIN),poly(3-decyl-1-vinyl imidazolium iodide) (PIL) and PMMA through non-solvent induced phase inversion method. The membranes were characterized in terms of their structure, morphology, physical properties (electrolyte uptake, porosity) and their photovoltaic and electrochemical effects as electrolyte in DSSC device were investigated. PMMA/PIL/PIN membrane was compared with PMMA/PIL, PMMA membrane and liquid electrolyte (LE) for their performance. The best QSS-DSSC with PMMA/PIL/PIN membrane exhibited high open circuit voltage (Voc), good short circuit current density (Jsc), comparable power conversion efficiency (η = 5.96%) and superior stability (up to 84% of its initial conversion efficiency after 250 h) compared to LE based DSSC. This innovative PMMA/PIL/PIN membrane based electrolyte pronounces the promising aspect for advancement in excellent performance of QSS-DSSC.

Synthesis, properties and photovoltaic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells of three <i>meso</i> -diphenylbacteriochlorins bearing a dual-function electron-donor
摘要： Bacteriochlorins are crucial to photosynthesis in bacteria. Studies of air-stable, meso-substituted bacteriochlorins are rare. We herein report the synthesis, properties, and photovoltaic performance of three new air-stable, meso-substituted bacteriochlorins bearing a dioctylfluorenylethyne (denoted as LS-17), a dioctylaminophenylethynylanthrylethyne (LS-43), and a diarylaminoanthrylethyne (LS-45) as the electron-donating groups. Among these LS-bacteriochlorins, LS-17 displays sharp UV-visible absorption bands whereas LS-43 and LS-45 give rise to broadened and red-shifted absorptions. Electrochemical and DFT results suggest that the first oxidation and reduction reactions of these bacteriochlorins are consistent with the formation of the cation and anion radicals, respectively. For dye-sensitized solar cell applications, photovoltaic performance of the LS-45 cell achieves an overall efficiency of 6.04% under one-sun irradiation.

Iron Oxide and Iron Sulfide Films Prepared for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： In this paper, the prospects of iron oxide ?lms and their sul?dation for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are reviewed. Iron oxide thin ?lms were prepared by hollow cathode plasma jet (HCPJ) sputtering, with an admixture of oxygen in the argon working gas and with an iron nozzle as the sputtering target. The discharge was powered by a constant current source in continuous mode and by a constant voltage source in pulsed mode. Plasma composition was measured by an energy-resolved mass spectrometer. Moreover, secondary electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), absorption and Raman spectra of the ?lms are presented. Strong correlation between the color of the iron oxide ?lm and its phase composition was revealed. Iron oxide ?lms were sul?ded at 350 °C. A relatively clean pyrite phase was obtained from the magnetite, while the marcasite with admixture of the pyrite phase was obtained from the hematite. Low in?uence of sul?dation on the ?lms’ microstructure was demonstrated.

A novel hybrid system consisting of a dye-sensitized solar cell and an absorption refrigerator for power and cooling cogeneration
摘要： To improve the energy conversion e?ciency of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), a novel hybrid system representatively consisting of a DSSC and an absorption refrigerator (APR) is put forward, in which the APR is used to thermally harness the part of high wavelength sunlight that not converted by the DSSC. The amount of heat from the DSSC is calculated, and mathematical formula for energy conversion e?ciencies and output powers of the DSSC, APR and hybrid system are derived. Numerical calculations show that the maximum output power density and maximum energy conversion e?ciency of hybrid system are enhanced by 9.93% and 9.92% in comparison with that of the single DSSC, respectively. Integration of APR to DSSC is a feasible route to effectively improve the energy conversion e?ciency. Comprehensive sensitivity analyses are conducted to explore how the whole hybrid system performance depends on various working conditions and designing parameters, including porous nano-TiO 2 ?lm thickness, photoelectron absorption coe?cient, internal irreversibility factor, heat transfer coe?cient and various temperatures. The research results can provide some new understandings for further enhancing the DSSC performance.

Efficient Solar Cells based on Concerted Companion Dyes Containing Two Complementary Components: An Alternative Approach for Cosensitization
摘要： With the purpose to achieve panchromatic absorption for constructing efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the cosensitization approach of using two dyes with complementary absorption has been developed with great success. However, this approach usually requires time-consuming optimization of a number of parameters for controlling the ratio and distribution of the two coadsorbed dyes on TiO2 film, which limits the potentials of this strategy. We herein report an alternative approach for developing efficient DSSCs by designing a class of “concerted companion dyes” with two complementary dye components linked covalently. Thus, a newly synthesized organic dye Z2 was linked to a recently reported doubly strapped porphyrin dye XW51 through flexible chains with various lengths to afford XW60?XW63. These dyes exhibit excellent absorption and efficiencies in the range of 8.8%-11.7%. Notably, upon coadsorption with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), XW61 affords an impressive efficiency of 12.4%, a record for iodine electrolyte-based DSSCs, to the best of our knowledge. In addition, these dyes also exhibit the advantages of easy cell fabrication, simple optimization, as well as excellent photostability.

Nanoscale Perovskite-Sensitized Solar Cell Revisited: Is This Dye-Cell or Perovskite-Cell?
摘要： A general and straightforward way of preparing few nanometer-sized well-separated MAPbIxBr3-x perovskite photosensitizers on the surface of ~1 μm thick mesoporous TiO2 photoanode was suggested via a two-step sequential deposition of low-concentrated lead halides (0.10 ~ 0.30 M PbI2 or PbBr2) and methylammonium iodide/bromide (MAI/MABr). When those nanoscale MAPbIxBr3-x perovskites are incorporated as a photosensitizer in typical solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ss-DSSCs), it could be verified clearly by the capacitance analysis that nano-particulate MAPbI3 perovskites are playing the same role as that of a typical dye sensitizer (MK-2 molecule) though their size, composition and structure are different.

Fabrication and characterization of metal oxide and lignocelluloses fibers based working electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)
摘要： This study presents the fabrication of flexible composite sheets of titanium dioxide (TiO2) by incorporation of natural lignocelluloses fibers extracted from the self-growing plant, Typha Angustifolia to address the inherent rigid structure and superior absorption properties of the working electrode. Furthermore, fabricated TiO2 based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy and employed as a working electrode for DSSC after deposition on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate. SEM morphology reveals that LC fibers acted as a thread to bind the TiO2 nanoparticles and also with better voids for adsorption of electrolyte whereas FTIR spectroscopy confirms the successful formation of the paper composite. J-V measurements reveal the high efficiency of 2.95% for TiO2/LC flexible and environmentally safe composite which can be feasible for modern bendable DSSC.

Design, Molecular Modeling and Synthesis of Metal-Free Sensitizers of Thieno Pyridine Dyes as Light-Harvesting Materials with Efficiency Improvement Using Plasmonic Nanoparticles
摘要： Considering the thiophene unit as an electron-rich heterocycle, it is investigated with the aim of elucidating its potential efficiency for solar cell application. With the introduction of active substituents such as COOEt, CONH2 and CN into the thiophene segment, three novel thieno pyridine sensitizers (6a–c), based on donor-acceptor D-π-A construction, are designed and synthesized. The effect of the anchoring groups is investigated based on their molecular orbital’s (MO’s) energy gap (Eg). The electrostatic interaction between the synthesized dyes and metal nanoparticles, namely gold, silver and ruthenium, is believed to improve their performance as organic sensitizers. The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are manufactured using the novel diazenyl pyridothiophene dyes, along with their metal nanoparticles conjugates as sensitizers, and were examined for efficiency improvement. Accordingly, using this modification, the photovoltaic performance was significantly improved. The promising results of conjugate (6b/AgNPs), compared with reported organic and natural sensitizers (JSC (1.136 × 10?1 mA/cm2), VOC (0.436 V), FF (0.57) and η (2.82 × 10?2%)), are attributed to the good interaction between the amide, methyl, amino and cyano groups attached to the thiophene pyridyl scaffolds and the surface of TiO2 porous film. Implementation of a molecular modeling study is performed to predict the ability of the thiophene moiety to be used in solar cell applications.

Investigating Various Permutations of Copper Iodide/FeCu Tandem Materials as Electrodes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with a Natural Dye
摘要： This work presents the synthesis and deposition of CuI and FeCu materials on copper substrates for dye-sensitized solar cell applications. FeCu is a metastable alloy of iron and copper powders and possesses good optical and intrinsic magnetic properties. Coupled with copper iodide as tandem layers, the deposition of these two materials was permutated over a pure copper substrate, characterized and then tested within a solar cell. The cell was sensitized with a natural dye extracted from a local desert plant (Calotropis Gigantea) and operated with an iodine/triiodide electrolyte. The results show that the best layer arrangement was Cu/FeCu/CuI, which gave an efficiency of around 0.763% (compared to 0.196% from reported cells in the literature using a natural sensitizer).
