Design, Synthesis and Photophysical Analysis of New Unsymmetrical Carbazole-Based Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： The molecular design, synthesis, and characterization of di-anchoring carbazole-based dyes (Car-Cy, Car-Amin, and Car-Mal) with A-π-D-π-A-π-A structure as materials for dye-sensitized solar cells applications (DSSCs) are reported. The electron-rich carbazole moiety in the structure of synthesized dyes is connected with acceptor/ or anchoring groups (cyanoacetic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, and malonic acid) and π-spacers (vinylene and cynovinyl thiophene). Electronic characteristics and molecular geometry of the sensitizers were optimized using Density Functional Theory (DFT), and the influence of dye structure on their photovoltaic performances was studied. Among the synthesized dyes in this research, Car-Amin dye presents a better photovoltaic performance as a sensitizer in the constructed device, with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.27%, JSC of 5.95 mAcm?2, VOC of 0.54 V and FF of 71%. The enhanced performance of this dye could be related to the powerful electron-withdrawing characteristic of the 4-aminobenzoic acid as an acceptor group in the dye structure. Consequently, the impact of various acceptor groups on the constructed DSSC devices was examined, and the results indicated that the improvement of DSSC performance is due to the presence of 4-aminobenzoic acid as acceptor on the carbazole-based dyes.

Facile graft copolymer template synthesis of mesoporous polymeric metal-organic frameworks to produce mesoporous TiO2: Promising platforms for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications
摘要： Mesoporous polymeric metal-organic frameworks (mesoporous polymeric MOFs) are prepared on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate using hydrophilic terephthalic acid as the ligands, titanium isopropoxide as polymeric MOF precursors, and amphiphilic graft copolymers (i.e., poly(vinyl chloride)-graft-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PVC-g-POEM) as structure-directing agents. The hydrophilic POEM chains in amphiphilic graft copolymers interact with the hydrophilic ligands and polymeric MOF precursors. Following thermal treatment at 500 °C, mesoporous polymeric MOFs are transformed to mesoporous TiO2 with high specific surface area and crystallinity, suitable for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications. Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) fabricated with mesoporous TiO2 photoanodes have efficiencies of 7.45 and 8.43 % at 100 mW/cm2, which is much higher than that of ssDSSCs and DSSCs with photoanodes of conventional TiO2 (5.36 and 7.14 %), respectively. The enhanced efficiency is attributed to good interconnectivity, larger surface area, and high porosity of the mesoporous TiO2, which results in suppressed interfacial charge recombination loss, enhanced electron transport, increased dye loading, and facilitated penetration of the electrolytes. Mesoporous TiO2 shows excellent activity as a photocatalyst for the degradation of humic acid under UV light irradiation.

Surface Carbon Shell-Functionalized ZrO2 as Nanofiller in Polymer Gel Electrolyte-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： We prepare dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) fabricated with a poly (ethylene glycol) based polymer gel electrolytes (PGEs) incorporating surface carbon shell-functionalized ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZrO2-C) as nano?llers (NFs). ZrO2 are polymerized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (POEM) as a sca?old to prepare the ZrO2-C through carbonization. The power conversion e?ciency of DSSC with 12 wt% ZrO2-C/PGEs is 5.6%, exceeding that with PGEs (4.4%). The enhanced e?ciency is attributed to Lewis acid-base interactions of ZrO2-C and poly (ethylene glycol), catalytic e?ect of the carbon shells of ZrO2-C, which results in reduced crystallinity, enhanced ion conductivity of electrolytes, decreased counterelectrode/electrolyte interfacial resistance, and improved charge transfer rate. These results demonstrate that ZrO2-C introduction to PGEs e?ectively improves the performance of DSSCs.

Design of new Imidazole-derivative dye having donor-Π-acceptor moieties for highly efficient organic-dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要： In the present work, we have synthesised donors/acceptor substituted derivative of imidazole 4-(1-(3-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (CNI) via one-pot synthetic method and has been characterized by spectroscopic methods such as IR, SEM and EDX. The photophysical properties like, solvatochromic shift and quantum yield of the CNI dye were found to be 1.85% and 0.57 respectively. The increase in absorbance and decrease in fluorescence spectra with different concentrations of TiO2 nanoparticles confirmed the possibility of interactions between dye and TiO2 nanoparticles. The Rehm-Weller relation suggests that, decrease in fluorescence of CNI dye was due to photo-induced electron transfer process and the Stern-Volmer studies suggest that, the fluorescence quenching mechanism was due to combined dynamic and static quenching process. The theoretical and experimental methods. Further, photosensitization of TiO2 nanoparticles from CNI dye has been investigated using absorption, steady state and time resolved fluorescence methods. Photovoltaic energy conversion efficiency and fill factor of fabricating CNI dye sensitized solar cell.

Lily (Iris Persica) pigments as new sensitizer and TiO2 nanofibers as photoanode electrode in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： In this study, lily (Iris Persica) dyes as sensitizer were examined by UV-Vis and FTIR analyses. Corresponding results showed that lily pigments effectively absorb incident light. This was mainly due to the presence of functional groups such as C=O and O-H in the pigment structure appeared on the FTIR analysis. This shows the appropriateness of lily pigment as sensitizer. On the other hand, anatase TiO2 nanofibers with different diameters were synthesized by Electrospinning method, using Titanium isopropoxide (TIPP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solution. The Electrospinning feed rate was altered from 0.1 to 0.5 mL/h to control the diameter of the TiO2 nanofibers. Other effective parameters including voltage, needle tip distance to collector and speed of collector were 25 kV, 15 cm and 500 rpm, respectively and were kept constant during synthesizing of nanofibers. The Synthesized nanofibers were analyzed and characterized by means of SEM, FESEM, XRD and TEM techniques. The FESEM and XRD analyses indicated that the nanofiber's diameter and crystallinity increase with increase in feed rate. The fabricated DSSC with 430nm TiO2 nanofibers (obtained from flow rate of 0.3mL/h) provided 1.72% energy conversion efficiency (? ), 50.78% conversion efficiency of photon to electron (IPCE), short-circuit current density (JSC) of 2.716 mA/cm2 and open circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.738V. The efficiency of the developed DSSCs, in comparison with the previously fabricated similar cells, were found higher, due to more effective absorption of light by the dyes and adsorption of pigment by nanofibers.

Photovoltaic Properties of an rGO/Pt Counter Electrode with AZO Photoanode for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells under Low Light Intensity
摘要： This study used reduced graphene oxide (rGO) applied to a platinum (Pt) counter electrode to improve light conversion efficiency. The study also used an Al-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) nanosheet / TiO2 photoanode for the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Photovoltaic characteristics, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze DSSC. The different light intensities and photovoltaic characteristics were analyzed to determine optimal light intensity conditions. The unmodified Pt counter electrode was compared with the rGO/Pt counter electrode, photovoltaic conversion efficiency (η) increased from 3.60% to 4.04% due to the rGO modification as it possesses a higher specific surface area. Its low cost also makes it suitable for mass production. In addition, an AZO nanosheet / TiO2 photoanode was fabricated to form a double-layer structure in which photovoltaic conversion efficiency was 4.47 %. Finally, a DSSC with an AZO / TiO2 photoanode and rGO/Pt counter electrode was fabricated and had an photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 5.05 %. This study also analyzed the photovoltaic parameters of DSSC under different intensities, which shows the optimal photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 5.54% under 30mW / cm2.

Fabrication and Analysis of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) by Using a Li-Treated TiO <sub/>2</sub> Photoelectrode
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) contain an electrode featuring a dye-adsorbed nanoporous TiO2 layer on ?uorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass, redox electrolytes, and a counter electrode. Generally, DSSCs utilize the dye-adsorbed TiO2 layer as the working electrode, a layer of Pt as the counter electrode, and contain an electrolyte with a redox couple (I?/I?3). However, a number of problems remain to be solved to improve the ef?ciency of DSSCs. We fabricated a hybrid Li-treated TiO2/TiO2 nanotube photoelectrode on a TiO2 passivating layer to improve the dye adsorption and charge transport and reduce the electron recombination.

Electrospinning a Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell
摘要： Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer new possibilities to harvest solar energy by using non-toxic inexpensive materials. Since they can generally be produced on flexible substrates, several research groups investigated possibilities to integrate DSSCs in textile fabrics, either by coating full fabrics with the DSSC layer structure or by producing fiber-shaped DSSCs which were afterwards integrated into a textile fabric. Here we show a new approach, electrospinning all solid layers of the DSSC. We report on electrospinning the counter electrode with a graphite catalyst followed by a thin nonconductive barrier layer and preparing the front electrode by electrospinning semiconducting TiO2 from a polymer solution dyed with natural dyes. Both electrodes were coated with a conductive polymer before the system was finally filled with a fluid electrolyte. While the efficiency is lower than for glass-based cells, possible problems such as short-circuits—which often occur in fiber-based DSSCs—did not occur in this proof-of-concept. Since graphite particles did not fully cover the counter electrode in this first study, and the typical bathochromic shift indicating adsorption of dye molecules on the TiO2 layer was not observed, several ways are open to increase the efficiency in forthcoming studies.
