Arylamine-Based Dyes for p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要:
New arylamine-based sensitizers for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been synthesized and used for p-type DSSCs. The best conversion efficiency reaches similar to 0.1%. Sensitizers with two anchoring carboxylic acids lead to higher open-circuit voltages, short-circuit currents, and energy conversion efficiencies.
Synthesis and characterization of perylene–bithiophene–triphenylamine triads: studies on the effect of alkyl-substitution in p-type NiO based photocathodes
摘要:
我们报道了新型供体-π-受体(D-π-A)染料的合成及其在基于氧化镍(NiO)光阴极的染料敏化太阳能电池(DSC)中的应用。这些D-π-A敏化剂包含三苯胺供体、联噻吩π桥和苝酰亚胺(PMI)受体基团。两个连在三苯胺上的羧酸基团使染料与NiO表面牢固锚定。该系列染料首先通过在联噻吩和三苯胺单元之间引入乙炔连接基团(1 vs. 2)来变化,从而增加了共轭桥的长度。尽管光电性质非常相似,但含乙炔的染料2在p-DSC中与1相比显示了约25%的功率转换效率提升,这主要归因于电流密度的增加。与最初的预期相反,纳米秒瞬态吸收光谱(TAS)测量的结果显示,染料的PMI单元与NiO表面之间的距离对光诱导的染料阴离子寿命没有主要影响。此外,改变连接桥上的联噻吩上的烷基链的位置(3和4)导致染料吸收光谱的轻微红移,这是由于PMI和π桥之间的电荷离域增加,这是由于PMI和相邻噻吩单元之间的扭转角减小。进行了量子化学DFT计算,以评估这些扭转角并研究它们对相关分子轨道中电子密度分布的影响。异构体染料3和4的分子结构的这些变化并没有转化为光伏性能的改善,这主要是由于瞬态吸收光谱探测到的较低的电荷光生率。尽管对于p型DSC,在全太阳光照下(模拟AM1.5G阳光,100 mW cm⁻²)展示了令人印象深刻的总体光-电转换效率(0.04-0.10%)和广泛的入射光子-电流效率(IPCE)响应(350-700 nm),但对于这些新型染料的研究清楚地表明,在用于光阴极DSC的p型敏化剂的设计中,需要谨慎的设计规则。

amination of aryl halides in the presence of inexpensive and air-stable alkali metal hydroxide bases and Pd[P(t-Bu)3]2 as catalyst gave arylamines in high yields. The reactions were conducted with a catalytic amount of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as phase-transfer agent and either aqueous hydroxide or solid hydroxide in the presence of water. This combination of alkali metal hydroxide base, H2O, and
Two new dyes, E1 and E2, equipped with triphenylamine as the electron donor, oligothiophene as the linker and different electron acceptor groups, have been designed and synthesized as photosensitizers for p-type dye-sensitizedsolarcells (p-DSCs). A systematic study of the effect of molecular structures on the observed photophysical properties, the electron/hole recombination process, the overall
A nickel-catalyzed oxidative coupling of zinc amides with organomagnesium compounds selectively produces diarylamines under mild reaction conditions, with tolerance for chloride, bromide, hydroxyl, ester, and ketone groups. A diamine is bis-monoarylated. A bromoaniline undergoes N-arylation followed by Kumada-Tamao-Corriu coupling in one pot. The reaction may proceed via oxidatively induced reductive elimination of a nickel species.

Much attention has been devoted to the synthesis of dyes that absorb near-infrared (NIR) radiation because of numerous demands for them as functional materials. Given that NIR sensitizers applicable to p-type dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices are extremely rare, p-extended dibenzo-BODIPY sensitizer 1 containing triphenylamine and nitrothiophene units was synthesized; the absorption spectrum of 1 showed an intense absorption band at 730 nm with a molar extinction coefficient of 7.14 x 10 (4) M-1 cm(-1). A p-type DSSC device with a 1-loaded NiO electrode was fabricated and its cell performance was investigated. It showed an open circuit voltage (V-OC), a short circuit current density (J(SC)), and a fill factor (FF) of 79 mV, 0.61 mA cm(-2), and 0.25, respectively. Consequently, the power conversion efficiency was 0.012%. Its performance was low, mainly owing to very fast recombination between the NiO and reduced dye at the surface of the electrode. However, EQE measurement showed that the 1-loaded p-type DSSC devices convert photons into current at wavelengths up to 850 nm, so further investigation to improve the cell performance is deserved.
