In recent years, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much interest as low-cost photovoltaic devices compared to traditional silicon solar cells. The development of these prospective low-cost solar cells focuses on finding efficient dyes and charge-transport materials for tandem DSSCs. Modifying the p-DSSC conversion efficiency would have a major impact on the molecular level performance of solar cells. This work focuses on the organic synthesis, characterization, electrochemical and photophysical properties of a series of compounds comprising a fullerene (C60) as electron transport mediators for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Much of the previous work in the field has focused on n-type metal oxides and organic hole-transport materials. For solid state p-type DSSCs (and tandem devices) an electron transport mediator is required. We will investigate the possibility of using this approach in p-type DSSCs because of the beneficial influence of the C60 accepting, storing, and transporting electrons. In this work, the fulleropyrrolidines were characterized by UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR-Mass Spectrometry. Cyclic voltametric studies reveal that all the derivatives exhibit four reversible redox waves for each compound. The derivatives will test as electron transport mediators in DSSC, and we are predicting to show high efficiency.
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.
