  1. 1. XDSC : Excitonic Dye Solar Cells

    Författare :Eva Unger; Gerrit Boschloo; Tom J. Savenije; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hybrid solar cells; energy transfer; dye-sensitized solar cells; TiO2; small-molecular semiconductor; hole-transporting dye; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Solar energy is the foremost power source of our planet. Driving photosynthesis on our planet for 3 billion years the energy stored in the form of fossil fuels also originates from the sun. Consumption of fossil fuels to generate energy is accompanied with CO2 emission which affects the earth's climate in a serious manner. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Characterization of dye-sensitized solar cells : Components for environmentally friendly photovoltaics

    Författare :Hanna Ellis; Anders Hagfeldt; Gerrit Boschloo; Erik Johansson; Maria Hahlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; solar cells; dye-sensitized solar cells; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : As fossil fuels, the major source of energy used today, create the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide which causes global warming, alternative energy sources are necessary in the future. There is a need for different types of renewable energy sources such as hydropower, windpower, wave- power and photovoltaics since different parts of the world have different possibilities. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Quantum Dot Solar Cells: Towards Environmentally Friendly Materials

    Författare :Viktor A. Öberg; Erik Johansson; Muhammet S. Toprak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum dots; Nano-crystals; Energy conversion; Solar cells; Quantum dot solar cells; Low toxicity; Silver Sulfide; Silver Bismuth Sulfide; Lead Sulfide; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : To decrease the world’s energy dependence on fossil fuels, energy production and specifically electricity production needs to shift to more sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is solar cells as they directly convert energy emitted from the sun into electricity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Development of Nanoparticle Sensitized Solar Cells

    Författare :Chunze Yuan; Hans Ågren; Anders Hagfeldt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum dots; quantum rods; nanoparticles; solar cells; colloidal; type-II; electron extraction; alloy; organic electrolyte; energy relay; upconversion.;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I have been working with the development of nanoparticle sensitized solar cells. In the subarea of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs), I have investigated type-II quantum dots (QDs), quantum rods (QRs) and alloy QDs, and developed novel redox couples as electrolytes.

  7. 5. Interactions in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

    Författare :Helena Greijer Agrell; Anders Hagfeldt; Gerrit Boschloo; Laurence Peter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; solar cells; photovoltaics; dye-sensitized; mesoporous; nanostructured; Raman scattering; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The interactions between the molecular constituents in dye-sensitized solar cells were studied with UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy, Raman scattering, conductivity and electron accumulation measurements.From stability studies of the dye, bis(tetrabutylammonium)cis-bis(thiocyanato) bis(2,2’-bipyridine-4-carboxylic acid, 4’-carboxylate) ruthenium(II), in the complete solar cell, the thiocyanate ion ligand was found to be lost from the dye.
