Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are devices which convert solar energy into electrical energy via photoexcitation of the dye molecules. Many aspects of DSSCs have been investigated to improve their efficiency,but one of the most significant factors is the sensitising dye.
Research into new sensitising dyes is increasingly focused on designing complexes that can absorb visible to near-IR light with high molar extinction coefficients. Also, the dye size needs to be considered for a better dye coverage of the electrode surface.
Considering these, my research is currently focused on making new dyes containing an azo ligand as the chromophore group to allow a combinationof the best aspect of organic dye (high absorption coefficient) with those of Ru dyes(good stability, low aggregation, better red absorption and long excited-state lifetime). These dyes were prepared using a protection/deprotection strategy that allows for convenient purification. The optical and photophysical properties were characterised through electrochemical, spectroscopic and computational techniques. DSSCs devices were fabricated and tested.
The novel Ru complex containing azo ligand shows better absorption than N3.
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.
