A brief review of the investigation of solar energy conversion and the development of dye-
sensitized thin-layer solar cells is presented, with the main focus on dyes, specially on d6 …

Transition metal complexes are vital components in a wide range of photooptical
applications; these range from targeted drug delivery to devices for the conversion of solar …

The goal of artificial photosynthesis is to use the energy of the sun to make high-energy
chemicals for energy production. One approach, described here, is to use light absorption …

Blue-violet anthocyanins from Jaboticaba (Myrtus cauliflora Mart) and Calafate (Berberies
buxifolia Lam) were employed as TiO2 dye-sensitizers. Solar cells sensitized by Jaboticaba …

In this paper we address the dependence of the charge recombination dynamics in dye-
sensitized, nanocrystalline TiO2 films upon the properties of the sensitizer dye employed. In …

Electron and energy transfer are ubiquitous in biological, chemical, and physical processes,
which has led to extensive multidisciplinary research efforts to elucidate the factors …

Dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells, DSSC, are a promising alternative for the development of a
new generation of photovoltaic devices. DSSC are a successful combination of materials …

There is a remarkable redox chemistry of higher oxidation state M (IV)− M (VI) polypyridyl
complexes of Ru and Os. They are accessible by proton loss and formation of oxo or nitrido …

The learning curve for dye sensitized solar cells is analyzed and tentatively compared with
the learning curve for classical solar cells. It appears that for one decade now the efficiency …

Dye-sensitization of nanocrystalline n-type TiO2 was achieved by using fruit extracts as a
natural source of sensitizers. Fresh extracts of chaste tree fruit (“maria-preta”, Solanum …
