In the dye-sensitized solar cell, when light is irradiated on the dyes, electrons are excited and injected into the semiconductor electrode and the electrons diffuse to transparent conducting substrate.During the transport in the semiconductor, the electrons may recombine with oxidized dye or oxidized species in electrolyte solution. Regarding the recombination between the electrons in the semiconductor and the oxidized dyes, many papers claim that if the dyes lie on the semiconductor electrode, the recombination is likely to occur due to short distance between the dyes and the electrode. However, for the case of Zn phthalocyanine dye, we reported that the recombination was less likely to occur when the adsorption angle was small. However only the study was performed systematically on the effect of adsorption angle.The purpose of this study is to generalize the relationship between the adsorption angle of the dye and the reduction rate. In this study, the adsorption angle was changed by adding adsorption moiety to ortho or para position of phenyl ring in metal free organic dyes. Transient absorption measurement was used to measure the reduction rate of oxidized dyes. We found similar reduction rates regardless of the adsorption angle at room temperature. We found also temperature dependent reduction kinetics from the standing dyes but not from the lying dye.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
