Harvesting solar energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells is the simplest, efficient, and reliable approach to power marine electronics. Installing PV above or under water provides cooling and cleaning to sustain the power ...

The electron–hole recombination and back electron flow at the conducting oxide–mesoporous film interface in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are addressed primarily by the use of pre-blocking layers. Herein, the effects ...

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have proven to be one of the best photovoltaic approaches for harnessing indoor/artificial light. Herein, we report two new molecularly engineered, cost-effective, metal-free, carbazole-based ...

The need for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy model is imperative due to petroleum non-renewability, scarcity and environmental impacts. Biorefineries systems explore biomass to its maximum, being an important pillar ...

Cobalt based, outer-sphere, one-electron redox shuttles represents an exciting class of alternative electrolyte to be used in dye-sensitized solar cells. The flexibility of redox potential tuning by varying the substituents ...

Copper redox shuttles, particularly [Cu(tmby)2]2+/1+ (tmby = bis(4,4′,6,6′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)), proved to be among the best electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), realizing higher power conversion ...
