研究目的
To design, synthesize, and characterize two new metal-free organic sensitizers, L156 and L224, for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and investigate their performance with different redox electrolytes and TiO2 films.
研究成果
The L156-based DSC with [Cu(tmby)2]2+/+ complexes as the redox electrolyte showed the best performance, achieving an efficiency of 9.26 % under standard conditions and up to 21.9 % under indoor light conditions. This demonstrates the potential of these dyes for both outdoor and indoor DSC applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on the performance of two specific dyes with certain redox electrolytes and TiO2 films. The generalizability of the findings to other dye structures or electrolyte systems may be limited.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of two new organic dyes, L156 and L224, with different π bridges and their characterization using various spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The influence of different redox electrolytes and TiO2 films on the DSC device performance was investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The dyes were synthesized using standard organic synthesis techniques and characterized using NMR, mass spectrometry, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer for NMR, a JASCO V630 UV/Vis spectrophotometer for absorption spectra, and a Keithley 2400 source meter for I-V measurements. Materials included TiO2 films, redox electrolytes, and the synthesized dyes.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
