Organic dyes, porphyrins and inorganic complexes containing imidazole (IM) motifs have
been demonstrated as a new class of sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) …

Three decades ago, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) emerged as a method for
harnessing the energy of the sun and for converting it into electricity. Since then, a lot of work …

A series of cyclometalated complexes of ruthenium (II) with four different substituents in the
aryl fragment of benzimidazole was synthesized in order to study the effect of substituent …

We synthesized a crude extract of Sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) and incorporated
the ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) as the natural light-harvesting material (dye). The …

We extracted natural dye from purple cabbage (PCE) and green-synthesized the silver
nanoparticle (AgNPs) from this extract for the light-harvesting material in DSSC. The …

The global focus on sustainable energy sources has intensified amidst concerns over
environmental degradation caused by fossil fuel consumption. Solar energy stands out as a …

Photosensitization has recently re-emerged owing to the current interest in visible-light
catalysis. One of the photoreactions investigated in this context, namely, photo [2+ 2] …

Co-sensitization technique has been appraised for attaining enhanced performance in dye-
sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). DSSCs are fabricated with a heteroleptic Ru (II) sensitizer …

An asymmetric pyrene derivative was designed as a dye with D-π-A structure. This dye was
synthesized by the following steps (acylation reaction, Friedele Crafts acylation reaction …

In this work, four free metal-organic dyes were synthesized as a donor-π bridge-acceptor
system in a one-pot condensation reaction and were used as sensitizers in DSSCs. To …
