Nanosecond Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy for In-Situ Analysis of Electron Back-Recombination and Dye Regeneration in Fully Functional, Highly Efficient, Opaque Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Devices

An improved optical design for nanosecond diffuse reflectance (DR) spectroscopy is presented. The in-situ analysis of the electron back-reaction and dye regeneration processes in efficient opaque dye-sensitized solar cell devices (DSCs) was scrutinized for ...

Investigation of Interfacial Charge Separation at PbS QDs/ (001) TiO2 Nanosheets Heterojunction Solar Cell

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Elham Ghadiri, Lioz Etgar

In the recent years, the heterojunction solar cells based on quantum dots (QDs) have attracted attention due to strong light absorbing characteristics and the size effect on the bandgap tuning. This paper reports on the kinetics of interfacial charge separ ...

Engineering of thiocyanate-free Ru(II) sensitizers for high efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Elham Ghadiri, Kuan-Lin Wu, Filippo de Angelis, Shilong Wang

We synthesized a series of Ru(II) metal complexes TFRS-1, -2, -4, -21, -22 and -24 with a single 4,40- dicarboxylic acid-2,20-bipyridine together with two functionalized pyridyl azolate ancillary ligands consisting of pyrazolate or triazolate groups. Both ...

Voltage enhancement in dye-sensitized solar cell using (001)-oriented anatase TiO2 nanosheets

Michael Graetzel, Paul Liska, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Ladislav Kavan, Elham Ghadiri

A nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) nanosheet ex- posing mainly the (001) crystal faces was tested as photo- anode material in dye-sensitized solar cells. The nanosheets were prepared by hydrothermal growth in HF medium. Good-quality thin films were deposited ...

A cobalt complex redox shuttle for dye-sensitized solar cells with high open-circuit potentials

Michael Graetzel, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Arianna Marchioro, Takeru Bessho, Jun Ho Yum, Elham Ghadiri, Thomas Moehl, Chenyi Yi

Dye-sensitized solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional inorganic semiconductor- based solar cells. Here we report an open-circuit voltage of over 1,000 mV in mesoscopic dye- sensitized solar cells incorporating a molecularly engineered cobal ...

Photoinduced interfacial electron transfer and lateral charge transport in molecular donor–acceptor photovoltaic systems

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Arianna Marchioro, Jelissa Risse, Elham Ghadiri, Angela Punzi

Nanostructured liquid|solid and solid|solid bulk heterojunctions designed for the conversion of solar energy offer ideal models for the investigation of light-induced ET dynamics at surfaces. Despite significant study of processes leading to charge generat ...
