The past decades have witnessed great research efforts based on nanotechnology and
molecular engineering for the development of photo-induced devices, aiming at conversion …

The synthesis of polymer-based assemblies for light harvesting has been motivated by the
multi-chromophore antennas that play a role in natural photosynthesis for the potential use …

Blocking-layer are very important for the overall efficiency improvement in perovskite solar
cells, PSCs. This layer must be thin enough to allow the light to reach the perovskite layer …

Dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cells (DSPECs) provide a flexible approach for solar
water splitting based on the integration of molecular light absorption and catalysis on oxide …

The large and continuous use of fossil fuels as a primary energy source has led to several
environmental problems, such as the increase of the greenhouse effect. In order to minimize …

In this work, extracts of mulberry (Morus alba L.), jaboticaba's skin (Mirtus cauliflora Mart),
java plum (Eugenia Jambolana Lam) and pomegranate (Punica Granatum) were used as …

An innovative two-step method perfectly prepared TCLs with different thicknesses, and then
the TNA films based on TCLs were successfully prepared. The effects of different …

In spite of the TiO 2 compact layer (TCL) being widely used, it still needs more study. This
paper took Ni-doped TCLs as the research target, using an innovative two-step method …

The preparation of nanostructured thin films consisted of TiO2/ZnO bilayers (BL) and their
application in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are reported. The film was prepared by the …

This review summarizes investigations carried out at the Laboratory of Photochemistry and
Energy Conversion (LFCE) in the University of São Paulo dealing with design and …
