Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have gained widespread interest because of their
potential for low-cost solar energy conversion. Currently, the certified record efficiency of …

A critical review of light-driven interfacial charge-transfer reactions of transition-metal
compounds anchored to mesoporous, nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) thin films is described …

We report a combined experimental and computational study of several ruthenium (II)
sensitizers originated from the [Ru (dcbpyH2) 2 (NCS) 2], N3, and [Ru (dcbpyH2)(tdbpy) …

The invasion of woody vegetation into deserts, grasslands and savannas is generally
thought to lead to an increase in the amount of carbon stored in those ecosystems. For this …

As the world's population increases, the US Department of Energy has estimated that energy
consumption will increase with it, increasing from 5.7× 1020 J in 2012 to 8.1× 1020 J in …

In this review, we address the materials design parameters that control the processes of
charge separation, and thereby device efficiency, in dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical …

As one of the most prevalent metal oxides on Earth, iron oxide, especially α-Fe2O3 or
hematite, has been the subject of intense research for several decades. In particular, the …

In this article, we present recent advances that we have achieved toward improving the
properties of anodically formed semiconducting TiO2 nanotubes as well as nanowire arrays …

FTIR spectra of [Ru (dcbpyH2) 2 (NCS) 2](N3),(Bu4N) 2 [Ru (dcbpyH) 2 (NCS) 2](N719), and
(Bu4N) 4 [Ru (dcbpy) 2 (NCS) 2](N712) complexes measured as solid samples in …

Novel organic sensitizers comprising donor, electron-conducting, and anchoring groups
were engineered at molecular level and synthesized. The functionalized unsymmetrical …
