The performance of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) depends on the properties and interactions of three fundamental components: the semiconductor, chromophore, and electrolyte. For the electrolyte, the dependence of DSSC performance on the identity and valence state of the spectator … Read more

The synthesis, characterization, electrochemical and photophysical properties of the phosphonate-derivatized Carbazole (CBZ) and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) chromophores in the dyes, BODIPY(CBZ)2PO3H2 [8] and BODIPY(Tol)2PO3H2 [7], are described. The oxide-bound dyes have been explored as light absorbers in dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell … Read more
