...Edwin Peng; Halil Berberoğlu Performance characteristics of an acetonitrile electrolyte based dye-sensitized solar cell were measured experimentally as functions of temperature (from 5 to 50 °C) and irradiance (from 500 to 1500 W m −2 ). The results indicated two thermal regimes of operation...

...Kenshiro Uzaki; Terumi Nishimura; Jun Usagawa; Shuzi Hayase; Mitsuru Kono; Yoshihiro Yamaguchi Directions to high efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are reviewed in terms of light harvesting and charge collection. Three dimensional DSCs characterized by a double dye layer electrode...

...Chaehyeon Lee; Weekyung Kang; Min Jae Ko; Kyoungkon Kim; Nam-Gyu Park Photo-electrochemical properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were investigated by changing the gap between working and counter electrodes. The open-circuit voltage ( V OC ) of DSSCs was significantly increased from 616...

...Hidehisa Hagiwara; Hiroshige Matsumoto; Tatsumi Ishihara Dye mixing effects on water splitting activity of KTaO 3 photocatalyst modified by various porphyrinoids was investigated. Photocatalytic activity of dye-modified KTaO 3 catalyst is greatly improved by mixing various porphyrinoids, in which...

...Takahiko Ono; Takeshi Yamaguchi; Hironori Arakawa The influence of a dye adsorption solvent of an infrared organic dye (NK-6037) on solar cell performance was investigated in a mesoporous TiO 2 dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). Various types of alcohols and a mixture of ethanol and tertiary-butanol...

..., especially in the case of a small absorption band, such as for dye sensitized solar cells and polymer solar cells. In this paper it is shown that the ultraviolet response of a multicrystalline silicon solar cell and polymer solar cell can be enhanced by application of a polymer coating doped...

... current of a silicon solar cell attached to the luminescent plate is improved by a factor 1.5 using a LFPC containing a single dye. It is also shown that most of the dyes are not stable in the polymer plates that are currently used. Screening of the stability of several other dyes indicates...

... in these systems. Generally transparent pollutants have been considered, which somewhat simplifies the calculations. However, there has been an increasing interest in the study of solar photocatalytic degradation of dyes. These substances are not transparent to the radiation that the catalyst is able to absorb...

...Ryu Abe; Kazuhiro Sayama; Hideki Sugihara H 2 production in a water-acetonitrile solution containing iodide as an electron donor was investigated over dye-sensitized Pt ∕ TiO 2 photocatalysts under visible light irradiation, as a potential water-splitting system based on an iodide redox mediator...

...Adrienne T. Cooper; D. Yogi Goswami The experimental work described in this paper evaluated the efficacy of dyes as sensitizing agents for solar photochemical detoxification and disinfection of water. Methylene blue and rose bengal were evaluated as photosensitizing agents. While neither dye...
