Triarylamine (TAA) and related materials have dramatically promoted the development of
organic and hybrid photovoltaics during the past decade. The power conversion efficiencies …

The dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) require one or more chemical substituents
that can act as an anchor, enabling their adsorption onto a metal oxide substrate. This …

The continuous increase of the world's population, together with the substantial
development of industry has brought about imperious demand for larger energy …

Dye aggregation dictates structural and optoelectronic properties of photoelectrodes in dye-
sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), thereby playing an essential role in their photovoltaic …

A new series of metal-free organic chromophores (TPA-TTAR-A (1), TPA-T-TTAR-A (2), TPA-
TTAR-TA (3), and TPA-T-TTAR-TA (4)) are synthesized for application in dye-sensitized …

Based upon the chromophoric core of cyclopentadithiophene-benzothiadiazole, we have
finely tailored a metal-free organic dye which displays power conversion efficiencies at …

We have designed and synthesized a number of donor-acceptor linked systems to elucidate
the science of photoinduced charge separation. In particular, porphyrin-fullerene and …

We report a combined experimental and computational investigation to understand the
nature of the interactions between cobalt redox mediators and TiO2 surfaces sensitized by …

A tetra-arylporphyrin dye was functionalized with three different anchoring groups used to
attach molecules to metal oxide surfaces. The physical, photophysical and electrochemical …

First-principles computer simulations can contribute to a deeper understanding of the
dye/semiconductor interface lying at the heart of Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs). Here …
